How to Make Custom Discord Stickers (Transparent PNG)

Discord communities thrive on custom stickers and emotes. You can make them from photos or memes with a free online sticker maker, then upload them to your server (boost level depending).

Discord sticker basics

Discord stickers and emotes need clear silhouettes and readable shapes at small sizes. Transparent PNG is the standard format for uploads.

Design for small size

Avoid thin lines and tiny text. Use bold borders and simple shapes. Faces and reaction poses work better than detailed scenes.

Create the asset in Stickerfy

Upload, remove background, add outline, download PNG. Square canvases keep proportions consistent across a sticker pack.

Upload to your server

Server owners with the right boost level can add custom stickers in Server Settings. Follow Discord’s current size and slot limits when uploading.

FAQ

What size should Discord stickers be?

Check Discord’s current upload limits. Designing square transparent PNGs around 320–512px is a safe starting point.

Can free servers use custom stickers?

Custom sticker slots usually require server boosts. Emotes may have different requirements — check Discord settings.
