Yes, to start. Every new visitor gets 30 trial credits and each emoji costs one, so there's real room to try a full set before deciding whether to keep going.

Can this make Discord stickers, not just emoji?

The character comes back at full size — well above Discord's 320×320 sticker minimum — so download the original and upload it as a sticker. Discord will size it down for you if you don't do it yourself first, the same as it does for an oversized emoji.

What about animated or GIF emoji?

Not yet. Every emoji here comes back as a still, transparent PNG, which covers what most servers actually upload — animated emoji sit in their own, smaller pool on Discord's side anyway. Animated output is on our list, just not live today.

What size do I actually get, and do I have to resize anything myself?

Nothing to resize. Every emoji downloads already cut to Discord's 128px and Twitch's 112, 56 and 28px, plus the full-size original — all in one folder.

How many custom emoji can my Discord server actually hold?

An unboosted server gets 50 static and 50 animated slots — two separate pools. Boosting raises both, up to 250 each at Level 3. The full breakdown, including stickers, is in our Discord emoji guide.

Can I use a photo instead of writing a description?

Yes. Attach one clear, front-facing photo — or a few — and the likeness carries through the style change. The written description becomes optional at that point, just extra colour.

Q: How is this different from a template site like Canva?

A template site hands you a shape and lets you paste your own art into it. This one draws the character — from a description or a photo — so there's no template to fill in and no clip-art library to dig through.

Describe a character, or attach a photo, and get custom Discord emoji back — cut out, transparent, and sized to Discord's 128px.

How it works

From a sentence — or a selfie — to a finished emoji

Four steps, and the last one is the only one that asks for anything.

1
Describe your character, or attach a photo
Say what they look like, or drop in a clear photo — either one is enough to start, and no account is needed for this part.
2
Pick a look
Choose one of the ready-made styles, or leave it freeform. Whichever you pick rides along as a reference, so your character comes back wearing it.
3
Choose the reactions your server actually uses
wheeze, hype, side-eye, pog, and a dozen more — pick as many as belong in one set.
4
Generate, then download
One quick click connects an account so the set has somewhere to live, then it comes back cut out and sized for Discord and Twitch at once.

What you get

One set, every size Discord — and Twitch — actually wants

No separate export step. Every generation comes back already cut to the sizes each platform expects.

One download, every size

Asset	Size	File cap	Notes
Discord emoji	128 × 128 px	256KB	Upload straight into Server Settings → Emoji
Discord sticker	the full-size original	512KB	Well above the 320×320 minimum — Discord resizes it on upload
Twitch emote	112 · 56 · 28 px	—	Same character, same set, three sizes at once

Same character, two platforms

You don't pick Discord or Twitch up front. Every set comes back with both — so the same look works in a Discord reaction pill and a Twitch chat message without making it twice.

Not a template

Nothing to paste into

Most of what shows up for “discord emoji maker” is a shape you fill in yourself.

A template site hands you a blank emoji-shaped canvas and a sticker library to drag from. That's fine if the art already exists — it's not much help if it doesn't.

This one draws the character, from a description or a photo, in whichever look you pick. There's no clip art underneath it and no template you're filling in — the six, or sixteen, reactions you end up with are all of the one character you described.

See it small

Judge it at 16 pixels, not the picker

Discord shows a custom emoji at roughly 22px inline and 16px as a reaction — the smallest either platform ever renders your art at. This is real output from the maker above, shown at that size.

these are actually so good

Straight answers

Questions people actually ask

No — describing your character costs nothing and needs no account. The only place we ask you to connect one (Twitch, Discord or Google, one click) is right before your set generates, so there's somewhere to keep it.
