What size are Discord emojis?
Discord displays custom emojis at 128×128 pixels. When you upload an emoji, Discord requires the file to be 256KB or smaller. If your image is too big or the wrong shape, Discord may reject it or squish it. This tool fixes both problems in one step.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Discord emoji resizer free?
Yes — completely free, no signup, no watermark. Everything runs in your browser, so your images are never uploaded to any server.
Will my image lose quality?
Resizing to 128×128 is small by nature, but this tool uses high-quality scaling and only compresses as much as needed to fit under 256KB.
Can I use animated GIFs?
This version resizes the first frame to a static PNG. Animated emoji support is coming soon.
