Where to Find Stickers

Sometimes you need to convey your emotions with something bigger than an emoji. That's where Discord stickers come in—but maybe you can't find a sticker that you like, or you've found a really funny picture you want as a sticker. In this article, we'll teach you how to add stickers to Discord, edit and delete the stickers you've already added, and use stickers in general.

Quick Steps

Open up Discord on PC or Mac.
Click on the server name to pull up a menu.
Server Settings > Stickers
Click Upload Sticker .
Choose a PNG, APNG, or GIF file that’s less than 512kb.
Add a related emoji and description.
Hit Upload to finalize the sticker.

1
Navigate to a server where you want to add stickers. You must have Expression permissions to add stickers to a server. If you don't have permission to add stickers to a server, you will need to get them from an admin.
- To grant Expression permissions, navigate to Server Settings . Click on the Roles menu item on the left and select the role you'd like to edit. Click on the Permissions tab and toggle on Create Expressions and Manage Expressions under General Server Permissions .
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-2.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-2.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/2\/2e\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-2.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-2.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":547,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

This will expand the menu for the server you're in.

This menu item is near the top of the server settings menu, between Emoji and Soundboard .
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/0b\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/0b\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-5.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Click the blue Upload Sticker button. Every server gets 5 free sticker slots. To unlock more, the server needs to be boosted.
- Servers get a total of 15 sticker slots at Level 1, 30 sticker slots at Level 2, and 60 sticker slots at Level 3.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/a\/af\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/a\/af\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-6.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":548,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Click the blue Browse button under File to add a sticker. The sticker should be in PNG, APNG, or GIF format, and should not be larger than 512kb. Discord will show you a preview of what the sticker will look like in both dark and light mode.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/8b\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/8b\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-7.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":347,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":549,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

7
Add a related emoji. Discord links each sticker to an emoji to help suggest various stickers to users when they're looking for a different emoji. For example, if you want to send an angry emoji, Discord will suggest custom stickers that could also convey your angry emotions.
- Both unicode and custom emojis can be assigned.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f3\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f3\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-8.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":548,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

This is an optional step, but adding a description helps users with screen readers know what the sticker looks like without having to see it. A good description is concise and describes what the sticker looks like and the emotion it conveys.
{"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e6\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e6\/Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-9.jpg\/v4-728px-Add-Stickers-to-Discord-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":346,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":548,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fair_use\">Fair Use<\/a> (screenshot)<br>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

The sticker will be uploaded to the server and will be available for immediate use.

There is currently no way to add stickers on the Discord app. You can upload emojis on the Discord app, but there is no option to add stickers as of right now. You will either have to wait to add your sticker until you're on a computer, or you'll have to ask someone else with Expression permissions to add the sticker for you.
- You can still use stickers in your messages on the Discord app.
