Overview
Collections let you organize emotes into reusable groups. Use them to curate themed sets, prepare imports, power rotations, or share favorites with others.
Creating a Collection
- Go to Collections in your dashboard
- Click Create Collection
- Enter a name (up to 50 characters) and optional description
- Click Create
Your new collection starts empty. You can add emotes from search results, imports, or by mirroring a 7TV set.
Adding Emotes
From Search
- Search for emotes on the Import page
- Click an emote card
- Select Add to Collection instead of importing directly
- Choose the target collection
From Server Emojis
- Go to a server's emoji page
- Select emojis you want to save
- Add them to a collection
Mirror a 7TV Set
Automatically pull an entire 7TV emote set into a collection:
- Open a collection
- Click Mirror 7TV
- Enter the 7TV set URL or ID
- The collection populates with all emotes from that set
Mirroring creates a snapshot. Changes to the 7TV set won't automatically sync to your collection.
Managing Collection Emotes
Inside a collection, you can:
- Browse emotes with search and filtering
- Favorite individual emotes within the collection
- Remove emotes you no longer want
- Reorder emotes by dragging
Importing from a Collection
Collections make bulk imports easy:
- Open a collection
- Click Import to Server
- Select the target server
- Choose which emotes to import or import all
- Confirm the import
The import runs through the operation queue, so you can track progress in real time.
Smart Select
Let Kao suggest emotes for your collection based on popularity and relevance:

Using Collections with Other Features
Collections are the foundation for several advanced features:
- Rotations - Select a collection as the emote source for scheduled rotations
- Sync Groups - Use a collection as the source in collection-source sync mode
- Backups - Convert a server backup into a collection for reuse
Best Practices
Organization
- Create collections by theme (e.g., "Pepe Emotes", "Reaction Faces", "Stream Emotes")
- Use descriptions to note the collection's purpose
- Favorite your most-used emotes for quick access
Maintenance
- Remove outdated or unused emotes periodically
- Keep collections focused rather than dumping everything into one
