Custom Emojis for Every Purpose
Branded Emojis for Communities
Turn your company logo, product icon, or mascot into animated emojis your community will actually use. Branded emojis in Discord servers and Slack workspaces drive engagement and make your brand part of everyday conversations. Create a full set with different expressions for launches, support channels, and celebrations.
Inside Jokes & Group Identity
Every friend group, gaming clan, and online community has moments that deserve their own emoji. Upload that screenshot, meme face, or pet photo and turn it into a custom reaction. Inside-joke emojis become shared vocabulary β the fastest way to reference a memory or make people laugh.

Custom Emoji Maker FAQs
What kinds of images work best for custom emojis?+
Images with a clear subject and good contrast produce the best results. Logos, faces, pets, objects, and illustrations all work well. Square images are ideal since emojis display as squares on most platforms.
Can I make custom emojis from hand-drawn sketches?+
Yes. Photo or scan your sketch and upload it. Clean line art with good contrast works especially well. Create an entire emoji set from drawings without any digital design skills.
How many animation effects are available?+
10+ effects including shake, spin, wobble, flip, on fire, deal with it, jail, polish, and more. Preview all effects at once and download whichever ones you like β or download all as a batch.
How is this different from the Enlarger or Resizer?+
The Custom Emoji Maker creates new emojis from your images with animation effects. The Enlarger makes small existing emojis bigger. The Resizer hits exact pixel dimensions for specific platforms. Use this tool when you want to make something new.
Do I own the custom emojis I create?+
Yes. Use them however you want β servers, marketing, personal use, commercially. Just make sure you have rights to the source images you upload. We don't claim any rights to your creations.
Is the custom emoji maker free?+
Completely free with no limits. No signup, no watermarks, instant downloads. Works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile.
Upload limits, platform by platform
The ceilings differ enough that a file which works on Discord can bounce off Teams. These are the numbers each platform publishes.
| Platform | Max size | Dimensions | Formats |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discord | 256 KiB | 128Γ128 | PNG, GIF |
| Slack | 128 KB | square, 128Γ128 recommended | PNG, JPG, GIF (up to 50 frames) |
| Twitch | 1 MB | 28Γ28, 56Γ56 and 112Γ112 | PNG, GIF (up to 60 frames) |
| Microsoft Teams | 50 KB | up to 220Γ220 | PNG, GIF |
- Discord: Animated emoji need a Nitro subscription or a boosted server.
- Slack: Transparent backgrounds render best against both themes.
- Twitch: Uploading each size by hand caps every file at 512 KB instead.
- Microsoft Teams: The tightest budget of the four, so larger emoji need resizing.
Checked against each platform's own documentation, except Microsoft Teams, which publishes no stable page for this.
