How to resize a GIF for Discord

Discord turns away an emoji over 256 KB, which most GIFs are. Open the GIF here and it's resized to 128 × 128, the size Discord shows emoji from, with the whole picture kept on a transparent square. If it's still too large, colors and frames are reduced until it fits. Then upload it in Server Settings, under Emoji. It runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded here.

  1. Step 1

    Choose your GIF
    Pick the GIF for your emoji, or drop it above.
  2. Step 2

    Keep Emoji
    It's fitted into 128 × 128 and kept under 256 KB.
  3. Step 3

    Upload to Discord
    Download it, then add it in Server Settings under Emoji.

What to expect

Supported inputs
Animated and still GIFs.
What happens
The GIF is fitted into 128 × 128 without stretching; space around a GIF that isn't square stays transparent. It's checked against 256 KB, and made lighter step by step if it's over.
Limits
Discord stickers have to be PNG or APNG, not GIF, so this page makes emoji. Custom sizes are still a click away under Custom.

Questions

Discord takes emoji files up to 256 KB. A GIF at its full size is usually far over that; at 128 × 128 most fit, and the page trims colors or frames when one doesn't.

128 × 128 pixels and under 256 KB. Discord shows emoji much smaller in chat, so a larger file only adds weight.

Not as a GIF. Discord stickers have to be PNG or APNG at 320 × 320 and under 512 KB, so a GIF sticker is refused even at the right size.
