how to add emoji to discord server - full guide
To add a custom emoji to your Discord server, follow these steps:
1. **Prerequisites**:
- You must have the `Manage Emojis` permission on the server.
- The image you want to use as an emoji should be smaller than 256KB.
- For best results, the image should be square. Discord will resize the image to 32x32 pixels, but it's a good idea to prepare it at a higher resolution.
2. **Adding an Emoji**:
a. Open Discord and go to your server.
b. Click on the server name at the top-left corner of the screen.
c. Choose `Server Settings` from the dropdown.
d. Click on the `Emoji` tab on the left sidebar.
e. Click the `Upload Emoji` button.
f. Navigate to where you have your image saved, select it, and click the `Open` or `Upload` button.
g. Give your emoji a name. This will be used as the code to display the emoji in chat. For example, if you name it "myemoji", you'd use `:myemoji:` in chat to display it.
h. Click `Save`.
3. **Using the Emoji**:
- Once the emoji is uploaded and saved, you can use it in any message or reaction on your server by typing `:emoji-name:` or selecting it from the emoji picker.
- Remember, custom server emojis can only be used on the server they were uploaded to, unless you have Discord Nitro which allows you to use server emojis on any server.
4. **Note on Emoji Limit**:
- Free servers can have up to 50 custom emojis.
- Servers boosted to Level 1 have a 100 emoji limit.
- Servers boosted to Level 2 have a 150 emoji limit.
- Servers boosted to Level 3 have a 250 emoji limit.
Now, your server members will be able to use this custom emoji in their messages and reactions. Enjoy your personalized server experience!
