How to make your own emoticons!

Hello.

Alright basically you just need a saved picture. Just search on Google.

First step is basic. You go to the "Show menu" and hover over the "Tools" link and you click "Emoticons...".



Second step is just as simple, you simple press the "create" option located to the right of the emoticons.



Step three is the actual adding of the emoticon.



Simple. I've numbered the boxes to tell you exactly what each means.
1. Is where you load the picture. You simple find the picture and double-click it.
2. Is the key shortcut. Notice I've typed in "(smile)". Whenever I type "(smile)" after you've actually created the emoticon. the emoticon will appear.
3. Is useless. You usually don't even need to fill this in.

And now the finished product



You may notice that it may be a little small. (All emoticons you create using this way will be this size). Although this is the perfect size for something as straight forward as a smiling face, some emotes need to be larger. No need to fret, I'll tell you how to make it a little larger.

First you go to Emoticonize.



Click "Choose file" and load your picture. Wait like 30 seconds, and then you'll get something like:



In the black box is your emoticon. To download it, right-click and "save image as" and save the image. However, the best thing about this site is you can download other peoples emoticons. Simple right-click any of the emoticons in the red box and save them.

Now repeat what you did with the first image and your done. The finished product will look something like:



You can compare the two .

Nice guide, thing is kadaj wrote a guide on how to do the same thing.

Possibly make your pictures smaller and only show what needs to be shown.
