The basic steps for making an emoji on any software are: uploading an image, cropping and editing that image, making sure it is the correct aspect ratio/dimensions for a Discord emoji (128×128), exporting/saving the edited image in a file format, making sure it is not above 256KB in size, and finally uploading the emote to Discord. If you’re using other software the basic steps below will still apply, but how you go about doing them may differ slightly. With Kapwing any image you upload is automatically resized to the 128×128 pixels format required by Discord.
