Questions

What are Discord's emoji rules?

Discord's help center (checked November 2026) says custom emoji must be under 256KB and can be JPEG, PNG, GIF or WEBP. Names need at least 2 characters, using only letters, numbers and underscores.

Who can add emoji to a server?

The server owner and anyone with the Create Expressions or Manage Emojis permission. If you don't see the Emoji tab, ask a server admin.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The video or GIF is read and turned into an emoji only inside this browser. This page never sends it anywhere.

What size should an emoji be?

Discord shows emoji small, so 128×128 is plenty and leaves room under the limit. For long or busy clips, try 64 or 96.

Is this made by Discord?

No. LumiBear is not affiliated with Discord. The Discord name belongs to its owner; this page just makes GIFs that fit Discord's emoji rules.
