The Gallery is a feature that allows users to save, organize, and share photos, as well as icons, custom emojis and stickers in VRChat. The gallery currently includes four tabs: icons, photos, emojis, and stickers. It was initially introduced as a VRChat+ exclusive feature on December 3rd, 2020.

Icons

Icons can be displayed on a user's nameplate if they have access to the gallery.

Icons are custom images used as a user's icon on their in-game nameplate. The Icon feature is available exclusively to active VRChat+ subscribers. When Streamer Mode is enabled, all other user's icons will be hidden.

Icons can be taken and added to your gallery, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading a picture by logging into your account on VRChat's website, clicking the Gallery tab, then going to Icons. Manually uploaded icons must be less than 10MB, larger than 64x64 pixels, and smaller than 2048x2048 pixels.

Photos

Photos in this tab can serve multiple purposes, such as an additional profile picture option on a user's profile. They can also be used when sending invites to other users. Photographs can also be used to change the banner for a group, and add to the group's gallery.

Like icons, photos can be taken and added to your gallery, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading a picture by logging into your account on VRChat's website, clicking the Gallery tab, then going to Photos. Manually uploaded photos must be less than 10MB, larger than 64x64 pixels, and smaller than 2048x2048 pixels.

In addition, users who have access to a gallery can share their photos with everyone in the instance using a sharing pedestal. Users can also copy the photograph to their gallery as long as the recipient also has an active VRChat+ subscription.

Emojis

Emojis in VRChat are custom, user-uploadable emoji. Custom emoji was announced in the June 15, 2023 Developer Update, and then released on June 29, 2023 Users with an active VRC+ subscriptions can upload up to nine custom emojis, including the option to create animated emojis using spritesheets. When creating an emoji, you can choose one of several animations.

Like icons and photos, emojis can be taken and added to your gallery, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading an emoji by logging into your account on VRChat's website, clicking the Gallery tab, then going to Emoji. Manually uploaded emojis must be less than 10MB, larger than 64x64 pixels, and smaller than 1024x1024 pixels.

In addition, users who have access to a gallery can share their emojis with everyone in the instance using a sharing pedestal. Users can also copy the emoji to their gallery as long as the recipient also has an active VRChat+ subscription.

Animations

When uploading an emoji, you have to select an animation that fits the emoji.

Fifteen of the animation names are tied to a pre-existing default emoji animations. For example, any emoji using the "Mistletoe" animation will share the same type of animation as the Mistletoe in the Winter page of the Default Emoji pack. However, there are twelve unique animations also added to the emoji creator.

The types of animations to choose from are as follows:

Aura	Bats	Bees
Bounce	Cloud	Confetti
Crying	Dislike	Fire
Idea	Lasers	Like
Magnet	Mistletoe	Money
Noise	Orbit	Pizza
Rain	Rotate	Shake
Snow	Snowball	Spin
Splash	Stop	ZZZ

Animated Emoji

Animated emoji were introduced later, announced and released on Open Beta on April 11, 2024; the feature was fully released in the 2024.2.1 update on April 24th.

Emojis can also contain a moving picture, similar to that of a GIF. This is possible by uploading your emoji as a sprite sheet, which should be a 1024x1024 image with square frames in a uniform grid, ordered left to right, then top to bottom. You can preset animation values in advance using the file name, like so: CoolEmoji_14frames_10fps.png. In addition, you can have your animated emoji use one of the above animations listed above.

Stickers

Stickers are placeable images that users can upload and display an instance. Stickers can be placed on almost any surface in a world for all users in the instance to see. Only one sticker may be placed by each user at a time, and stickers will automatically disappear when the user leaves the instance. Stickers can be hidden by selecting them, and blocking a user will also hide any stickers that they have placed. The Sticker feature is exclusive to active VRC+ subscribers.

Like icons, photos, and emojis, stickers can be taken and added to your gallery, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading a sticker by logging into your account on VRChat's website, clicking the Gallery tab, then going to Stickers. Manually uploaded photos must be less than 10MB, larger than 64x64 pixels, and smaller than 1024x1024 pixels.

In addition, users who have access to a gallery can share their stickers with everyone in the instance using a sharing pedestal. Users can also copy the sticker to their gallery as long as the recipient also has an active VRChat+ subscription.

Prints are photos users can take within VRChat and spawn as an object in-world for other users to share and save. Prints carry metadata of: who took the photo, where, and when a photo was taken. They can also have custom messages written on them. Prints have the same appearance as real-world instant films. All prints will always upload in 1080p resolution. Users can "collect" prints by saving them to their gallery.
