FAQ
What size should Discord/Slack emojis be?
Discord allows up to 256 KB per emoji. 128×128 px exports work best—Discord displays them at 32–48 px, so they downscale well. Slack allows 128 KB per emoji and recommends 128×128 px for best results.
How do I remove the background from an emoji?
Upload a PNG with transparency, or use Remove Background in the editor. The tool automatically cuts clean edges so your emoji looks sharp at small sizes.
Why is my emoji blurry or too big?
Make sure your export size matches the platform (128px works for most). If it's blurry, the source image may be too low-resolution. Use crisp, high-contrast images for best results.
How do I animate an emoji (shake/party/laser eyes)?
After uploading your image, choose an animation effect from the filter controls. Popular options include Shake, Spin, Party mode, Laser Eyes, and more. Adjust speed and direction to customize.
Can I use this for Discord/Slack/Twitch?
Yes! Our emoji maker exports files optimized for all major platforms. Discord accepts animated and static emojis up to 256 KB. Slack supports animated GIFs up to 128 KB. Twitch requires specific sizes (28×28, 56×56, 112×112).
How is MakeEmoji different from template-based tools?
