Discord Emote Resize
A Discord emote is a custom emoji used in server chats and reactions. The recommended size is 128×128px (1:1 ratio) with a maximum file size of 256KB. Emotes display at 48×48px in chat and 20×20px as reactions, so simple PNG images with transparent backgrounds work best. Emote slots per server depend on the Boost level. This tool crops your image to exactly 128×128px and saves it instantly — preventing upload errors when registering new emotes.
