#Emote preview only shows .avif

While trying to add an emote to my own discord server quickly, I can't just grab the url of one of the 4 emotes in preview, because they are all in .afiv format.

Pfftt afiv

#

First off, you can just change the url to be gif or webp

#

and secondly, that's literally what the "Download" button is for.

#

it lets you pick a format and resolution so you don't have to edit the url manually

@upper hound Im not grabbing the url by pressing the ""Download"" button, but by right-clicking -> copy img url and then pasting it in the file explorer adress bar when I upload an emoji.

wdym?

upper hound
#

you can only upload .gifs to discord anyway

#

if you want them to be animated

upper cargo
#

I noticed

#

it brings us back to the original question of why gifs in preview are only shown as .avif @upper hound

upper hound
#

But discord is dumb and doesn't support them yet

upper cargo
#

not better in every way for me, when Im trying to use the emote on discord, makes sense right? @upper hound

upper hound
#

yes but just change the URL to gif

#

or use the download button to do that for you

#

OR

#

download the avif and use something else to convert it to a gif

If I go to a store and the door is stuck and the owner tells me and everybody else to just walk around the building and use the backdoor, wouldn't you agree that the owned should fix the door instead? @upper hound

upper hound
#

because the front door isn't broken

upper cargo
#

@upper hound the door is stuck

#

wouldn't you agree that the owned should fix the door instead?

upper hound
#

the door is not stuck

#

you're just in a giant wheelchair

upper cargo
upper hound
#

a wheelchair called "discord requiring gifs"

#

avif is better in every way

upper cargo
#

assuming the door is stuck, would you agreed that the owned should fix the door? @upper hound

upper hound
#

sure

#

but it's NOT stuck

#

your brain is stuck

upper cargo
#

hol' up

#

we're doing this step by step

upper hound
#

just click download

#

get the gif

#

ez

#

simple

#

IDK why you're trying to use the avif at all

upper cargo
upper hound
#

the preview will be avif

#

that is NOT changing

#

the door is NOT broken

I recorded the userflow(?) of importing an emoji to discord.The first run took 0:13 - 1:05 (52sec), the second 0:10 - 0:43 (33sec). A time saving of around 35% @upper hound

#

I understand this is not a perfect recording, in addition to the fact that only the smallest version turned out to be working

Just use tetra bot to get emotes for discord from 7tv

#

It’s quick and easy

#

7TV won't downgrade to gif just because Discord won't use it, avif looks better with smaller file size

#

previously the website was using webp either way
