Overview
The Emote Creator lets you combine a base emote with overlays, effects, and templates. You can preview the result, save it to your creations gallery, then import it into a server or download it.Start a creation
- Go to Create.
- Add a base layer or choose a template.
- Add overlays.
- Position each layer on the canvas.
Work with layers
Each layer can be adjusted independently:
Use the layer panel to select, reorder, or remove layers.
Use templates and quick overlays
Templates give you a starting point. Quick overlays are useful for common additions such as hats, glasses, effects, and other decorative layers. After applying a template or overlay, you can still move and adjust each layer.Preview before saving
Discord often displays emojis at small sizes. Before saving:- Open the preview.
- Check the emote at smaller sizes.
- Remove tiny details that are hard to read.
- Increase contrast when the result feels muddy.
Simple, high-contrast compositions usually work better than detailed images once Discord shrinks them.
Save and use your creation
- Choose Save.
- Open the creation from your gallery.
- Import it to a server, download it, or delete it when you no longer need it.
