Local only · Discord emoji target 256KB is optional
256KB applies to Discord custom emoji uploads. Regular chat message GIF limits depend on Nitro and current Discord rules — they are not the same as the emoji limit.
Discord Emoji Compression
Custom emoji slots are strict about file size. This mode aims for 256KB while keeping motion readable at small sizes.
Compress GIF to 256KB
We iteratively reduce resolution, colors, FPS, and frames until the file is under your target — or as close as possible without inventing impossible lossless results.

Discord Emoji Requirements
256KB is the common custom emoji budget. Do not confuse it with every Discord chat GIF upload limit. Stickers and Nitro features have their own rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 256KB the limit for all Discord GIFs?
No. 256KB is for custom emoji-style uploads. Message attachments follow different Discord/Nitro limits.
Will quality stay perfect?
Not always. Reaching a tiny budget may require fewer colors, lower resolution, or fewer frames.
Is the GIF uploaded to your server?
No. Compression runs entirely in your browser.
