So, you want to add your own custom emoji to Slack? Before you start, it's important to know your custom emoji will be available to everyone in your workspace, so be mindful of what you're adding. Plus, workspace admins can restrict permissions for adding custom emoji to Slack, so your gleeful plans for fun online work banter might be already foiled if your boss has turned this option off.īut if you're able to add, hooray! There are two ways to add, and I'll start with the easiest.

Hit the smiley faceįirst things first, you can only add new emoji to Slack on desktop. Hit the smiley face icon on the bottom right of the Slack formatting bar, between the (tag someone) and paperclip (add attachment) icons. When the array of emoji already available pops up, hit "Add Emoji" underneath. Here's where image selection is important. Square images under 128KB, sized 128x128 pixels, and saved with transparent backgrounds (save as a PNG file) work best for Slack, but if the image is massive, the platform will automatically resize it - and this can often look super average and tiny. You can also add GIF files for animated fun, but keep in mind the sizing. Make sure you give your emoji a unique name, but one that's easily searchable. Name your emojiīefore you save, make sure you give your emoji an easily searchable name if you want it to roll into high rotation in your workspace. To make a GIF out of a sprite sheet, use the sprite cutter tool.Names must be lowercase, and can't contain spaces, periods, or punctuation.
