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.

What size should Discord stickers be?

Can free servers use custom stickers?
