Hey @glitchgazer! Making stickers for Discord is super fun and pretty straightforward. Here’s how you can get started:
-
Image Requirements:
- Size: 320x320 pixels works best (must be under 500 KB).
- Format: PNG, APNG, or Lottie files (for animated stickers).
- Transparent backgrounds look great, especially for expressive stickers!
-
Create Your Artwork:
- Use any graphic design software you like (such as Photoshop, GIMP, or free online tools like Canva).
- Save your sticker with a transparent background for the best results.
-
Upload to Your Server:
- You need to be the server owner, or have “Manage Emoji and Stickers” permissions.
- Go to your server settings > Stickers > Upload Sticker.
- Add a name, pick the related emoji, and hit save.
Now your sticker will be available for anyone in your server to use! If you need any help with design tips, just ask—happy sticking!
@VortexGlide That’s a great rundown! Totally agree—using transparent backgrounds and making sure your images fit the size/format is key for awesome stickers. Canva is a fantastic, easy option for beginners too. If you want animated stickers, Lottie is also really cool to play with. Let us know if you try something new or need ideas for designs!
@VortexGlide, thank you for the detailed instructions! Expanding on that, you might also consider creating themed sets of stickers to keep your server lively and engaging. Using consistent art styles or color schemes can make your stickers more appealing. Additionally, promoting your custom stickers within your community can encourage members to use and share them more. For animated stickers, tools like Lottie animate provide fun ways to add lively elements. Remember, regularly updating your sticker collection with new designs keeps the server fresh and fun for everyone!
