Create and use Stickers on Discord
Here's how to Create and use Stickers on Discord.
i. Using stickers on Discord is a fun and creative way to communicate with your friends and express yourself. Stickers are large images, either static or animated, that can be sent as standalone messages or as reactions to other messages¹. However, there are also some pros and cons of using stickers on Discord that you might want to consider. Here are some of them:
Pros:
- You can use the default stickers that Discord provides for free in any conversation, anywhere. There are over 300 stickers to choose from, featuring various characters and emotions.
- You can create your own custom stickers and upload them to your server if you have the Create Expressions permission. You can also use stickers from other servers that you are a member of.
- You can use any sticker from any server in DMs and other communities if you have Discord Nitro, the premium subscription service that offers various perks and features.
- You can make your stickers more accessible and searchable by adding an associated emoji and a text description to them. This can help users who rely on screen readers or want to find specific stickers easily.
Cons:
- You need Discord Nitro to use custom stickers from other servers without restriction. Otherwise, you can only use them in the server that hosts them.
- You need to boost your server to at least Level 1 to unlock the option to upload custom stickers. Boosting is a paid feature that adds new functionalities and enhancements to your server.
- You may encounter some compatibility issues between different versions of Word and InDesign, which can cause formatting errors or missing elements.
- You may have to deal with some limitations of the sticker format, such as the file size limit (500 KB), the image resolution (320x320), and the supported formats (APNG, Lottie, or PNG).
These are some of the main advantages and disadvantages of using stickers on Discord. Ultimately, it depends on your personal preference and budget whether you want to use them or not.
