How it works

  1. 1

    Pick sticker or emoji

    Stickers display large in chat (one per message). Emoji are inline. SticKit's editor toggles between the two specs.

  2. 2

    Design

    Text, photo, or video — same editor. Square crop is enforced so it lands cleanly in Discord's UI.

  3. 3

    Export

    PNG for static, GIF or APNG for animated. SticKit auto-trims to size budget.

  4. 4

    Upload to your server

    Server Settings → Emoji or Stickers → Upload. Drag the file in, set the shortcode, done.

FAQ

What's the difference between a Discord sticker and emoji?

Stickers display large (one per message, like Telegram). Emoji are inline characters in text and reactions. Both use similar formats, but stickers are 320×320 and emoji are 32×32-ish at render time.

Why APNG and not GIF for stickers?

APNG supports alpha-channel transparency — Discord stickers float over the chat background. GIFs only support binary masking, so you'd see jagged edges. Emojis are tiny enough that GIF works fine.

How many slots does my server have?

Standard servers get 50 emoji and 5 stickers. Boost levels 1/2/3 add 50/50/100 emoji and 10/20/30 sticker slots. Animated emoji count separately from static.

Can I bulk-upload?

Discord doesn't have a bulk-import API. SticKit lets you batch-export, then drop files into the server uploader one by one.
