AI Discord Emoji Generator
Discord emoji maker
Make custom Discord emoji with AI. Describe any emoji, generate a crisp transparent-background PNG, and add it to Discord in seconds. Server emoji and reactions are how Discord communities show personality. Transparent PNGs render cleanly on both light and dark themes and in the reaction tray.
Emojis you create are public and may appear in Explore.
How to add a custom emoji to Discord
- 1
Download your emoji as a transparent PNG (or GIF for animated).
- 2
Open Server Settings → Emoji → Upload Emoji.
- 3
Name it and save; it’s now available to members as :name:.
- 4
Use it in messages or as a reaction. (Animated emoji need a boosted server or Nitro.)
What people actually make Discord emoji for
Discord emoji are server identity. A community's emoji set is the fastest way to tell an insider from someone who just joined, and reaction emoji do most of the moderation-free signalling in a busy channel - agreement, disagreement, and the running joke nobody explains.
Referenced as :name: and picked from the server's own tray. Names are per-server, so the same artwork can be :based: in one server and :agreed: in another without conflict.
Worth knowing before you upload
- Animated emoji need a boosted server, and members generally need Nitro to use them elsewhere. A static PNG works for everyone, everywhere, with no tier attached.
- Servers have a finite number of emoji slots, so a set that all looks alike wastes them. Distinct silhouettes read better in the tray than distinct colours.
- Emoji show at roughly 32 pixels in the reaction bar. Anything with small text or thin lines turns to mush at that size.

Discord emoji FAQ
What size should a Discord emoji be?
128x128 pixels, under 256 KB, PNG or GIF. Discord scales it down for display, and the reaction tray renders it far smaller, so a bold simple shape survives where fine detail does not.
Do I need Nitro to add a custom emoji?
No. Adding a static emoji to a server you manage needs the Manage Expressions permission, not Nitro. Nitro matters for using a server's emoji in other servers, and animated emoji need the server to be boosted.
Can I use the same emoji on more than one server?
Yes. The file is yours, so upload it to as many servers as you manage. Each server names it independently.
