Guide: Create Discord Emojis

Build sharp custom Discord emojis from icon sites in a few steps: choose icon, download SVG, recolor in an editor, set to 32x32, and upload.

1. Pick an icon

Select a clean icon and download SVG format.

Recolor and fit canvas/artboard to 32x32.

Add emoji in server settings and test readability.

Flaticon - Interface Icons

Static icons that are ideal for clean Discord emoji sets.

Flaticon - Animated Icons for Discord

Animated icon options for motion-based emoji ideas.

Iconify - Open Source Icon Sets

Large open-source SVG icon library with many styles.

1) Choose your icon style. Pick icons with bold shapes so they remain visible at small sizes.
2) Download as SVG. SVG keeps edges sharp and is easier to recolor than raster files.
3) Open in any design editor. Use Figma, Photopea, Illustrator, or another editor to recolor for your server theme.
4) Resize to 32x32. Set canvas/artboard to 32x32 for consistent Discord emoji sizing.
5) Export and upload. Export your final emoji, then upload in Discord server settings.
6) Test in chat. Check contrast in dark mode and light backgrounds. If it looks blurry or thin, increase line weight and re-export.

Emoji quality tip

Avoid overly detailed icons. Simple high-contrast shapes are much easier to read at Discord emoji size.
