How to Get a Discord Emoji ID

Every custom emoji on Discord has a unique ID number. Knowing how to find this ID is useful for bots, webhooks, and advanced Discord integrations. The easiest way to get a Discord emoji ID is by adding a backslash before the emoji in your chat bar.

Step-by-Step Method

• 1. Open any text chat in a server where the custom emoji is available.
• 2. Type a backslash (\) in the chat box.
• 3. Type or select the custom emoji right after it. It should look like this: \:emojiname:
• 4. Press Enter to send the message.
• 5. Copy the raw format that appears in chat. It will look like <:emoji_name:123456789012345678> (or <a:emoji_name:123456789012345678> for animated emojis).
• 6. Extract the Emoji ID — the long string of numbers at the end (e.g., 123456789012345678) is the Emoji ID.

Tips

• You do not need Nitro or any special permissions to view an emoji ID.
• This works for both static and animated custom emojis.
• Emoji IDs are unique across all of Discord — no two emojis share the same ID.
