This is how it looks in Discord – with sample data.

Images with a wink.

One command, one picture: yurna makes memes and image jokes right in the chat.

Call /ai with a wish. Step 1 of 3

The image workshop turns your images into server emojis and stickers, creates animated GIFs and bundles the image templates in one command. Everything runs right in Discord, without third-party services.

How to set it up#

  1. For emojis and stickers, you and yurna need the Manage Expressions permission.
  2. By default, Discord only shows /emoji to members with "Manage Server". You can change this under Server Settings → Integrations → yurna.
  3. Upload the image directly as an attachment in the command – yurna only loads images from Discord (up to 8 MB).

Emojis and stickers#

CommandWhat it does
/emoji image <image> <emoji_name> [remove_background] [round]Turns an uploaded image (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP) into a server emoji
/emoji sticker <image> <name> <emoji> [remove_background]Turns an image (PNG, JPG, WebP) into a server sticker
  • remove_background removes a single-colour background – ideal for logos, drawings and screenshots on a light or plain background. Photos with a busy background stay as they are.
  • rund crops the emoji into a circle.
  • An animated GIF stays animated and becomes an animated emoji.
  • The emoji name must be 2–32 characters long and may only contain letters, digits and _. The sticker name must be 2–30 characters long, and you add a matching emoji (e.g. 😄).

Animated GIFs#

CommandWhat it does
/gif text <text> [style] [emoji_name]Animated text (up to 24 characters) in the style Rainbow, Sparkle or Wiggle
/gif avatar [user] [effect] [emoji_name]Avatar with an effect: Spin, Wiggle, Pulse or Rainbow (empty = your avatar)
/gif slideshow <image1> <image2> [image3] [image4] [seconds]Slideshow of 2–4 images, 1–5 seconds per image (default 2)

If you add an emoji_name to /gif text or /gif avatar, yurna saves the GIF straight away as an animated server emoji. For this too, you and yurna need "Manage Expressions".

Image templates#

/meme-maker <template> bundles 15 image templates in one command: achievement, bangladesh, change-my-mind, dog-say, fbi, galaxy-note, iq-graph, jail, note, ph-comment, sonic-says, trash, trigger, type-c and yt-comment – for example /meme-maker fbi or /meme-maker jail. Discord shows each template's options while you type.

Common problems#

  • “You need the Manage Expressions permission” or “I need the Manage Expressions permission”: give yourself or yurna the Manage Expressions permission.
  • “I couldn’t load the image”. Upload the image directly in the command (up to 8 MB). Links to other sites don't work.
  • “Even downscaled, the image is too large for Discord”. Emojis can be at most 256 KB. Use a simpler image or a shorter GIF.
  • The emoji couldn't be created. Often all of the server's emoji slots are taken, or the name is already in use.
  • The sticker couldn't be created. Check that there are free sticker slots left.
