Customize emote images

Vuukle ships six default reactions: Happy, Unmoved, Amused, Excited, Angry, Sad. You can replace any or all of them with your own images and labels.

Replace from the dashboard

1. Sign in to the Vuukle dashboard and pick your site.

2. Open Site Settings → Emote settings.

3. For each emote slot:

   • Upload an image (PNG or SVG, square, ≥ 80×80 px recommended).
   • Edit the label text shown under the emote.

4. Save.

Changes apply to every article on the site within a minute. The new images and labels show up on the Emote widget and inside the ShareBar’s reaction button.

Hide specific slots

If you want fewer than six reactions, Site Settings → Emote settings → Disable lets you turn off individual slots. Useful for lifestyle content where harsh reactions like “Angry” aren’t appropriate, or for any case where six is too many.

Icon size

Site Settings → Emote settings → Icon size controls the rendered pixel size of each emote icon.

Image guidelines

PNG with transparency, square aspect ratio, at least 80×80 px (96×96 px is the sweet spot — looks crisp on Retina). Host them on your own CDN with long cache headers if you’re swapping in branded illustrations.
