How do I upload these to my platform?
Each platform is different. For Twitch, use the Emote Manager in your Creator Dashboard. For Discord, go to Server Settings and upload custom emojis. For Slack, look for "Customize Your Workspace" in settings.

Making Custom Animated Emojis Easily
Let's be honest – it's hard to make simple custom emotes. That's why we built MakeEmoji. We wanted an easy way to create basic animated emojis and emotes that don't suck, without needing to learn complicated design software or hire someone to do it for you.
Why Custom Emotes Matter
For Twitch Streamers
Your subscribers want something unique to show off. Good custom emotes become part of your brand and give your community something to rally around. Plus, they're way more fun than the generic options.
For Discord Communities
Custom animated emojis make your server feel special. They're perfect for inside jokes, reactions, and creating that sense of belonging that keeps people engaged.
For Work Teams
Yes, even in Slack. Custom emojis can actually make work communication more fun and help build team culture. Just don't go overboard in important meetings.
How It Works
1. Start with an image
Upload your own image or pick from our collection of popular memes and templates. PNG files with transparent backgrounds work best.
2. Pick an animation
Choose from bounce, shake, spin, zoom, and other effects. You can adjust the speed and intensity until it looks right.
3. Tweak the details
Fine-tune colors, brightness, and contrast. Most of the time the defaults work fine, but the options are there if you need them.
4. Download and use
Get your animated GIF and upload it to whatever platform you're using. No watermarks, no attribution required.
