Inventory is a feature that allows users to manage their emojis, stickers, and more. The inventory currently includes five tabs: icons, photos, emojis, stickers, and prints. Some inventory tabs require an active VRC+ subscription to manage items. Initially known as the gallery but was later renamed.
Icons

Icons are custom images used as a user's icon on their in-game nameplate. The Icon feature is available exclusively to active VRC+ subscribers. When Streamer Mode is enabled, all other user's icons will be hidden.
Icons can be taken and added to your inventory, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading a picture by logging into your account on VRChat's website.
Photos

Photos 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. Photos 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 inventory, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading a picture by logging into your account on VRChat's website.
In addition, users who have access to their photo inventory, can share their photos with everyone in the instance using a sharing pedestal. Users can also copy the photo to their inventory, as long as the recipient also has an active VRC+ subscription.
Emojis

Emojis in VRChat are custom, user-uploadable emoji. Custom Emoji was announced in the June 15, 2023 Developer Update[2], and then released on June 29, 2023[3] Users with an active VRC+ subscription can upload up to 18 custom emojis, including the option to create animated emojis using sprite sheets. When creating an emoji, you can choose one of several animations.
Like icons and photos, emojis can be taken and added to your inventory, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading an emoji by logging into your account on VRChat's website.
In addition, users who have access to their emoji inventory can share their emojis with everyone in the instance using a sharing pedestal. Users can also copy the emoji to their inventory, as long as the recipient also has an active VRC+ 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[4] and released on Open Beta on April 11, 2024; the feature was fully released in the 2024.2.1[5] 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. 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. Users with an active VRC+ subscription can upload up to 18 custom stickers.
Like icons, photos, and emojis, stickers can be taken and added to their stickers inventory, by either taking a photo with the camera, or by manually uploading a sticker by logging into your account on VRChat's website.
In addition, users who have access to their inventory can share their stickers with everyone in the instance using a sharing pedestal. Users can also copy the sticker to their inventory, as long as the recipient also has an active VRC+ subscription.
Prints

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" other user's prints by saving them to their inventory.
