Upload a sticker. 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. -
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.
-
Add a description. 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. -
Click the blue Upload button when you're happy with the sticker. The sticker will be uploaded to the server and will be available for immediate use.
