Discord goes above and beyond when it comes to its interactive visual elements. From emojis that transition to GIFs that you can hide, there’s never a shortage of customizable responses. More recently, they have reintroduced stickers, which are static or animated alternatives to emojis and GIFs. If you’ve used Facebook and Instagram before, consider Discord’s own version of Facebook stickers and Instagram story stickers. Here’s how to use and add stickers to Discord.

What are Discord stickers?
Curtis Joe / Android Authority
Stickers are somewhat of a mystery. While similar in size to GIFs, stickers are essentially just larger Discord emojis that can’t be added next to text.
Like emojis, custom stickers can be static images or animated. Users who are not subscribed to Discord Nitro can use a server’s own stickers, but cannot use stickers from outside that server.
How to use stickers on Discord
Discord users often use stickers to reply to messages or greet other people on servers. Due to their larger real estate, they can be more graceful and detailed than standard Discord emojis.

How to add stickers on Discord
If you want to add custom stickers, you have to do it through your server. In addition, your server needs to be “boosted”.

A server upgraded to level 1 (2 boosts) can upload 15 custom stickers, a server upgraded to level 2 (7 boosts) can upload 30 custom stickers and a server upgraded to level 3 (14 boosts) can upload up to Upload 60 custom stickers . However, server boosts cost money.
