ImgWrench is a free Discord sticker maker: drop in an image and get a 320×320 PNG, or drop in an animated GIF and get an animated APNG — the format Discord needs for moving stickers — checked against the 512KB limit.

How to make a Discord sticker

  1. Drop your image or animated GIF into the tool above.
  2. If it isn't square, choose Contain, Cover or Crop.
  3. Check the size badge. If an animated sticker is over 512KB, click Compress.
  4. Download the sticker, or several as a ZIP.

Uploading to Discord

Custom stickers come with Server Boosting. Once your server is boosted, owners and admins can upload them under Server Settings > Stickers on desktop. Discord also asks for a matching emoji and lets you add a description for people using screen readers.

Design tips

  • Fill the square. Stickers sit alone in chat, so use the whole 320×320 area.
  • Use transparency. A transparent background lets the sticker float on the chat. APNG keeps soft edges that GIF would lose.
  • Keep animations lean. Short loops with fewer colours fit under 512KB more easily.
  • Preview where it counts. Check animated stickers in Server Settings > Stickers > Upload, not by sending them as files.

Why ImgWrench

  • Exact size, right format. Every sticker is 320×320, PNG or APNG.
  • GIF to APNG built in. No separate converter needed.
  • Private by design. Your art never leaves your device.
  • Checked against the limit. Over-limit stickers can be compressed in one click.

Frequently asked questions

What size are Discord stickers?

Discord asks for exactly 320×320 pixels. Stickers display at 160×160 in desktop chat, and the double-size upload keeps them crisp on sharp screens.

What format do Discord stickers use?

PNG for still stickers and APNG (animated PNG) for animated ones. GIF isn't a sticker format, so ImgWrench converts animated GIFs to APNG for you.

What is the file size limit for Discord stickers?

512KB. ImgWrench shows each sticker's size and can compress one that's over the limit by reducing colours and, for animations, frames.

Why doesn't my animated sticker play?

Discord says APNG stickers won't render if you send them through the chat bar's file upload. Upload them in Server Settings > Stickers instead.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser. Your images are never sent to a server, and you can confirm this in your browser's network tab.
