Size specs
This is a chat sticker—not a 128×128 emoji and not a 512×512 server icon. Design for a larger expressive stamp.

Stickers are larger than emoji—use the room
Discord stickers sit larger in chat than custom emoji. A practical 320×320 square gives enough room for a character pose or logo lockup while staying light enough for upload limits many communities follow.
Emoji at 128×128 need extreme simplicity. Stickers can carry a bit more detail—but they still fail when you paste a full comic page or microscopic speech bubbles. One clear subject with quiet margins beats a collage.
Sticker packs, animation rules, and who can upload depend on Discord’s current server features and boosts. This tool exports still masters. Prepare APNG/JSON packs in Discord’s sticker workflow when you need motion.
Server icons and profile banners remain separate jobs. Do not stretch a 1920×1080 banner into a sticker square.
Good vs weak crop
Same feed frame—keep the subject inside the margin phones actually show.

Think in packs, not one-off dumps
Stickers work best as a small coherent set: same line weight, palette, and character. Random unrelated PNGs feel like spam in the picker.
- Keep a shared margin and silhouette style.
- Name stickers for how people search (“wave”, “ship”, “lol”).
- Confirm pack slot limits before commissioning a huge series.
Do not confuse stickers with emoji
Emoji are 128×128 reactions. Stickers are larger express art. Uploading the wrong size to the wrong settings page wastes slots.
- Discord emoji size — 128 × 128 reaction glyph
- Share the mascot; export both sizes on purpose.
File requirements
Export 320×320 as PNG when you need transparency and hard edges. Prefer sRGB. Keep weight within Discord’s sticker limits for your pack type.
