How to Use Discord Reactive Images

ByCaesar Hours

Since its launch, Discord has gained immense popularity among gamers. However, it didn’t take long for Discord to expand its user base beyond gamers and attract a wider audience. Nowadays, professionals from various fields also utilize Discord for their communication needs. As a result, a new trend of Discord Reactive Images has emerged, which is currently making waves online. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of creating and using Discord Reactive Images. So, without further ado, let’s dive in and get started!

What are Discord Reactive Images?

If you watch YouTube or Twitch live streamers, you may have noticed that they often engage in conversations with their friends. This is made possible through Discord Calls.

By using the right techniques, you can utilize Discord’s voice and video features to display user avatars while speaking. This even includes the ability to use virtual YouTuber-style characters.

When a person speaks or their speaker icons light up, the avatar associated with their Discord account starts moving. This means that instead of showing the person’s actual face, an AI avatar mimics their speech.

In simpler terms, with Discord Reactive Images, when you speak, your Avatar on Discord will also appear to speak instead of showing your real face. It’s quite fascinating, isn’t it?

So, for those who have been searching for an AI Speaking avatar in Discord, now you know what it’s called. Now that you have a better understanding, let’s explore how you can create one for your own use.

How to Make and Use Discord Reactive Images

If you’re familiar with Discord reactive images and are interested in creating them yourself, it’s important to carefully follow this guide to avoid any issues or errors. Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that many users have recently reported problems with their Discord microphone not working.

Step 1: Create a Few PNG Images

To begin, you’ll need to create several PNG images. PNG stands for Portable Network Graphics, although they are not as widely supported as JPG or WEBP formats. However, since we’re not using those formats, let’s stick with PNG.

By default, Discord provides a profile picture with a very low resolution of 128×128 pixels, which is quite small. That’s why we recommend using an avatar creator. There are many options available online. In our case, we used Canva, which you can also use. Alternatively, feel free to use any other tool, especially if you find a free one. We chose Canva because it’s easily accessible and beginner-friendly.

Typically, for Discord reactive images, users opt for Vtuber-style avatars or transparent versions of their Twitch profile pictures.

To achieve this using Canva, follow these steps:

  1. Open Canva.
  2. Click on “Create a Design” and select “Custom Size” from the drop-down menu.
  3. Set the width and height as 512 pixels each.
  4. Click on “Create New Design.”
  5. Now, go to Google and search for anime pictures. Choose the anime picture you like.
  6. Right-click on the image and select “Open in a New Tab.”
  7. Hold the image and drag it to Canva.
  8. Choose the uploaded image and click on “Edit.”
  9. From the left-side menu, click on “RemoveBG.”
  10. The background will be removed, and you’re now ready to use the image as a Discord Reactive Image.
  11. Click on “Share” and then select “Download.” This step is crucial. Make sure to check the option for “Transparent Background.”
  12. Finally, click on “Download.”

That’s it! You have successfully created a PNG image with a transparent background using Canva.

Step 2: Add Image to Discord Reactive Image Tool

Now that the challenging step is behind us, the remaining process is straightforward. You need to open the Discord Reactive Image tool and add the avatars.

However, this step is crucial as it involves integrating the images into the software to ensure they function properly during streaming. Follow these simple steps to integrate the images with the Reactive Image tool:

  1. Visit the following link.
  2. Click on “Login” to authorize Discord’s integration with the tool. Confirm the authorization to proceed.
  3. Once you’re logged in, upload the pictures. Ensure that you upload two images: one that remains static when you’re quiet and another that moves when you speak.
  4. You can also upload the same image for both the Speaking and Inactive sections.
  5. On the right side, select the “Bounce” effect by checking the corresponding box.
  6. Now, open Notepad or any text editor and copy both links provided on the right-hand side. Paste them in Notepad for easy reference and to avoid forgetting them.
  7. With this, everything is nearly complete. The final step will enable you to use these images while streaming.

By following these steps, you can effectively integrate and utilize your images as reactive avatars on Discord during your streaming sessions.

Step 3: Create Browser Input

The final step involves integrating your browser with the streaming software you’ll be using. OBS Studio is the most commonly used option, and we’ll be utilizing it as well. Follow these steps to complete the integration:

  1. Launch OBS Studio.
  2. Click on “Properties” and select “Browser.”
  3. Open Notepad or any text editor, copy the first URL, and paste it into the URL field.
  4. Set the Height and Width to 512, as that matches your image resolution.
  5. Click “OK” to save the settings.
  6. Now, you have the second URL. This URL is specifically for when you are streaming alone and not in a group call. It’s important to keep this URL saved to ensure you don’t lose it.

From now on, whenever you start streaming, your Avatar will begin speaking, fulfilling the purpose of Discord Reactive Images.

Remember, for this setup to work, you need to keep OBS open in a browser tab along with Discord. As long as both are running smoothly, you’ll enjoy the desired effect during your streams.
