Create Emojis - Tutorial

With this Tutorial, you'll learn how to create your own emojis that you can upload to our website.

What You Need

• Image Editing Software: We recommend Paint.NET. It's free, easy to use, and perfect for pixel art. Of course, you can use other programs as well, but this guide focuses on Paint.NET.
• Emoji Resolution: The Emojis must be 16:10 Aspect Ratio and preferably 512x320 pixels, but anything larger or smaller will be functional with a limit of 1mb. Download our blank standard template:

Step by Step Tutorial (with Paint.NET)

1. Open Paint.NET & Load Template: Start Paint.NET. Go to File > Open and select your downloaded template.
2. Zooming: If you want to zoom in, hold Ctrl and scroll with the mouse wheel.
3. Designing: Now add images to the template layer or draw your emoji design.
4. Saving: Go to File > Save As....
   • Make sure to select PNG (*.png) as the file type. Other formats will not work!
   • Give your emoji a name (e.g. my_cool_emoji.png).
   • In the next dialog window, you can keep the default settings. Click "OK".

Important Tips

• Format: Always save as PNG! Only PNG supports transparency correctly.
• Transparency: Use it for interesting effects, but don't overdo it. Completely transparent emojis are not visible.
• Follow the Rules: Make sure your design complies with our rules! No prohibited content.
