How to Quickly Make Discord Custom Emojis With a Discord Emoji Maker
There are so many ways you could make your own emotes for Discord. Not sure how to make emotes on Discord? You could use graphics software like Adobe Photoshop, for example. But what if you don't have software? You could try out a Discord emote maker, like Placeit.
Placeit is an awesome, browser-based design tool that you can use to create mockups, logos, designs, and much more. It's a fun and convenient Discord emote maker too!
Check out these cute, custom emojis for Discord that were designed, customized, and resized all in a browser, no software required, with Placeit.
Let's take a look at how to make Discord emojis easily and quickly with this online tool.
1. Choose a Discord Emoji Maker Template to Get Started
First, begin by browsing and selecting a template that you'd like to customize. Consider this just your starting point because you can really dig in and customize your design with Placeit.
Here's the Discord emote design we'll work with in this demonstration.
2. Easily Customize Discord Emojis in Your Browser
Next comes the fun part: it's time to customize the design.
On the left, we can adjust the font and font color, add more text, and even upload more image content.
On the right, we can change colors and graphics. This is important because you'll want to set your background to transparent for Discord emojis (unless you don't want your image to be transparent).
Remember, emotes for Discord are small. You can include details if you want to, but sometimes, less is more. Here's a look at how I customized this Discord emote. Click here to edit this custom design on Placeit yourself!
3. Easily Save and Download Your Discord Custom Emojis
Once you've created your own cool emotes for Discord, you can easily save and download your work in Placeit.
Save your best Discord emotes because you can always go back and revise your draft. For example, we could reuse this heart emote with different text if we wanted to.
You can also save designs as Favorites if you'd like to use the original base design again.
Once you're ready to download, just click Download and choose one of the available options. Some designs, like this heart, are free!
4. But Wait, What About Discord Emote Size Requirements?
Discord emote size is an important thing to consider here. When you download your work from Placeit, you'll get a high-resolution file, appropriate for printing. This is cool if you want to turn your design into a T-shirt, poster, or other printed piece, but it's not appropriate for Discord.
So, what do we do?
Luckily, Placeit also has a free image cropper. It's completely online, browser-based, and super easy to use. Just click Upload New Image, and choose your file from your computer. Set the dimensions to 128x128. This size will work well for Discord (which will resize it to 32x32).
Then, simply click Download to download your finished Discord emote. Easy, right? This tool is particularly handy for cropping out extras and previewing how your emote will look in a square space.
5. Try Out Your Custom Emojis for Discord
Not sure how to add emotes to Discord? To add new emotes to Discord, you will need to own a service (which is free), or you will need permissions within a server to add new emotes.
You can find these settings by going to the server icon and right-clicking on PC or Control-clicking on Mac. Choose Server Settings > Emoji.
Then, simply click Upload Emoji to choose the file from your computer. You can give your new Discord emoji an alias too.
And that's it! Now, we can use our new Discord custom emojis. Here's a look at the heart emoji that we customized in action. Isn't it cute?
