Discord emojis are small custom images or icons you can upload to your Discord server. To use them, open your server settings, go to the Emoji tab, and upload your image (PNG/JPG/GIF). Once added, members can type the emoji name in chat or select it from the emoji picker. Emojis can be static or animated if you have Discord Nitro.

No, these emojis are free to download and use. However, to use custom emojis on any server (not just the one they’re uploaded to), you need Discord Nitro. With Nitro, you can use any emoji you have access to across all servers and in direct messages.

Discord “emojis” (sometimes called emotes) are small images you can add to chats. “Stickers” are larger, more detailed images (often requiring server boosts or Nitro to use). Essentially, emojis and emotes refer to the same thing: custom smileys or icons, while stickers are another form of expressive images in Discord.
