Discord emoji: 128×128 with transparent background

Discord accepts custom emoji uploads up to 256 KB in PNG (static) or GIF (animated) format. The recommended master size is 128×128 — Discord auto-scales the emoji to 32×32 in chat and 56×56 on hover. Transparent background is required so the emoji looks right on any chat theme.

Why 128×128 is the sweet spot

Discord downsamples to 32×32 in chat and 56×56 on hover. Starting from a 128×128 master gives you 4× the source pixels of the chat size, enough for sharp downscaling on retina displays without wasting storage on 512×512 masters Discord will throw away most pixels of.

Discord Nitro emoji vs server emoji

Free Discord servers can upload up to 50 static + 50 animated emoji; Nitro Boost tiers unlock 100+ slots. All sizes use the same 128×128 spec.

Transparent background required

Discord shows emoji on light, dark, and custom-colored chat backgrounds. A white background looks broken on dark themes. Transparent PNG keeps your emoji looking right everywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use 256×256? Yes, but Discord will downsample. 128×128 is the recommended sweet spot.

Animated emoji limit? Discord Nitro Boost Level 1+ servers can upload animated emoji; free servers are static only.

Why is my emoji cropped? Discord auto-crops non-square emoji to fit the chat slot. Start from a square 128×128 source.
