A step-by-step guide to making animated letter and word emoji for your server: picking a style, keeping under Discord's size limit, and uploading.

Every number you need for custom Discord emoji and stickers: pixel sizes, file size limits, accepted formats, naming rules and slot counts by boost level.

Discord can show red, green, blue and other colored text using ANSI code blocks. Here is how it works, which colors are available, and its limits.

How Unicode "fonts" like 𝐛𝐨𝐥𝐝, 𝓈𝒸𝓇𝒾𝓅𝓉 and 🅱🅾🆇 work in Discord, where you can use them, and how to keep your name readable and searchable.

The right sizes for animated server banners, profile banners and avatars, what each one requires, and how to design text that still reads after Discord crops it.

Use Discord's <t:…> timestamp codes so event times automatically show in each reader's local time zone, plus every format and how to make one.

Who can upload emoji, which files Discord accepts, how many slots each boost level gives you, and how to name emoji so members actually use them.

Everything you need to make and upload server stickers: the 320 × 320 size, the 512 KB limit, PNG and APNG, sticker slots and the extra details Discord asks for.

The image sizes and boost levels for a server icon, server banner, invite background and profile banner, and how to design for Discord's crops.

How to greet new members, write short rules that people actually read, and use Discord's welcome and onboarding features to point newcomers in the right direction.

What a Discord webhook is, how to create one, how to post text and images through it, and why you should treat its URL like a password.

Make your Discord profile your own: usernames versus display names, writing an About Me, styled text, custom status and per-server profiles.

Keep your messages readable for everyone, including screen reader users: emoji letters, fancy fonts, image descriptions, spoilers and color.

Plan events members actually show up to: scheduled events, timestamps that work in every time zone, announcements, reminders and roles.

Build a channel list members can navigate: categories, naming conventions, emoji prefixes, topics, threads and when to archive.

The numbers you keep looking up: message length, emoji and sticker file sizes, slots per boost level, name and topic lengths, and boost requirements.

Use emoji letter banners and creative formatting to make announcements, event headers, and pinned messages impossible to miss.

Master Discord's built-in Markdown to add bold, italic, code blocks, spoilers, headers, and more to any message.
