FAQ
Which image formats can I convert to emojis?
Upload PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP files. Transparent PNGs keep their edges, animated GIFs stay animated, and static JPGs export as crisp PNG emoji files.
How do I keep transparency when converting?
Use PNG uploads or enable Remove Background in the editor. Exports preserve transparency so your emoji looks clean on dark and light themes.
Will the converter resize my image automatically?
Yes—MakeEmoji resizes to 128px by default (perfect for Discord and Slack) with options for 112px, 72px, and other sizes when you need smaller files.
Can I convert a GIF or video clip to an emoji?
Upload any GIF to keep animation, or upload a short video after converting it to GIF. Then trim, add effects, and export an emoji GIF ready for chat.
