🎨 The 5 Discord Nitro Emoji Packs
Discord lists the five packs as:
- Cattos
- Lil Guys
- Mochi
- Toebi
- Skelly
Each pack has its own personality, so you can pick the style that suits you. According to Discord, every emoji was designed by hand by its in-house artists or by creative partners.

🔒 Who Can Use Nitro Emoji Packs
Nitro Emoji Packs are currently an experiment and aren't widely available. During the experiment, Discord says they're available to select Nitro subscribers, including people on a free trial of Nitro.
You don't buy or unlock the packs separately. All five come with your Nitro subscription.
Discord's help article refers only to Nitro. It doesn't say whether Nitro Basic subscribers get the packs, so check your own emoji picker if you're on Nitro Basic.
If your Nitro subscription ends, you lose access to the packs. Emojis you already sent from them will still show in chat.
💻 How to Use Nitro Emoji Packs on Desktop
During the experiment, desktop is where you can send and react with these emojis.
Send an emoji in a message
- Select the emoji icon on the right side of the message bar to open the emoji picker.
- Select the plus icon at the top of the picker's left sidebar. Hovering over it shows View Nitro Emojis.
- To see every emoji in a pack, select the arrow next to the pack's name.
- Choose an emoji to add it to your message, then send as usual.
React to a message
- Hover over the message, then select the Add Reaction icon (smiley face) on the right.
- Select the plus icon at the top of the reaction picker's left sidebar.
- Choose an emoji from any pack. Your reaction appears under the message right away.
Add or remove a pack from your picker
Packs are opt-in. Adding one puts its emojis in your main emoji picker, so you don't need to open the Nitro Emoji Packs view every time.
- Open the emoji picker and select the plus icon at the top of the left sidebar.
- Select the plus button (Add to picker) next to the pack you want. It changes to a minus button once the pack is added.
- To remove a pack, select the minus button next to it.

📱 Using Nitro Emoji Packs on Mobile
On mobile, the packs are view only during the experiment. You can see the emojis when other people send them in messages or use them as reactions.
You can't select or send them from the mobile emoji picker yet, even if you have access on desktop.

Emoji Packs vs Server Custom Emojis
Nitro already lets you use custom emojis from any server anywhere you have permission. Emoji Packs are a separate, Discord-made set.
| Nitro Emoji Packs | Server custom emojis | |
|---|---|---|
| Who makes them | Discord's artists and partners | Server owners and members with the right permission |
| How you get them | Included with Nitro | Join the server that uploaded them |
| Need to join a server | No | Yes, to use them in that server |
| Use in other servers | Yes, with Nitro | Only with Nitro or Nitro Basic |
| Available elsewhere on Discord | No, exclusive to Nitro | Depends on the server |
| Managed from | The Nitro Emoji Packs view | Server Settings, Emoji tab |
Server emojis also follow each server's permission settings. Our Discord roles and permissions guide explains how those permissions work.
Nitro also includes 2 Server Boosts. See our Discord Boost guide for what they unlock.
