Sticker GIF examples

Huatua is a Slack emoji maker that turns a one-line prompt into an animated GIF you can upload as a custom Slack emoji. It is built for people who need something that moves — Discord and Slack regulars, meme makers and social media managers — without opening an editor or learning a prompt language.

How do I make an animated Slack emoji?

Write the reaction as a tiny scene: “a party parrot spinning”, “a rubber duck nodding”, “a thumbs-up made of confetti”. One subject and one big, simple motion work best, because Slack shows custom emoji very small next to a message.

Generate with the Sticker style, check the loop, then download the GIF. In Slack, open the emoji picker, choose Add Emoji, upload the file and give it a short name like :ship-it:.

Will the GIF fit Slack's emoji limits?

Slack asks for small, square images with a file-size limit for custom emoji; check Slack's help pages for the current numbers. Huatua's free Quick tier gives you a 816 × 816 GIF, which you may need to shrink before uploading. A one-click Slack export at emoji size is planned but not available yet — until then, any image resizer will do, and the loop keeps working after resizing.

What does it cost?

Your first three GIFs are free without an account, and signing up adds ten more for seven days. After that, one-time credit packs start at $0.99; there is no subscription, and a failed generation gives its credit back.

How it works

  1. Type a prompt
  2. Pick a style
  3. Download your loop

Questions about this tool

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. Anyone can make a few loops for free, and one person can pay for credits and share the GIFs. Slack's own settings decide who may add custom emoji to a workspace.

Can I put text in a Slack emoji?

Short words work. Ask for one bold word in the prompt, for example “the word LGTM bouncing”. At emoji size, more than one or two words becomes hard to read.

Is the emoji watermarked?

No. The GIF file you download has no mark. Free loops only show a small huatua.com label on Huatua's own preview and share pages.
