Make a Slack emoji

Slack custom emoji are 128×128 and up to 128 KB. Slack takes PNG, JPG or GIF — not WebP. This makes the static PNG right here on your device.

Convert your image

Moving pictures keep their motion here — up to 30 frames as GIF.

Add it to Slack

  1. In Slack, click the emoji picker in the message box, then Add Emoji (or go to workspace settings → Customize → Emoji).
  2. Upload the PNG you just downloaded and give it a name.
  3. Adding emoji needs the permission your workspace sets for it — usually any member, sometimes admins only.

For an animated Slack emoji you need a GIF (not WebP). If a GIF is over 128 KB, reduce frames or colors rather than resolution.
