I fixed it. Sorry about that - I just have this habit of converting everything in my projects to Vector, even though I made them in the bitmap editor.

Hey, It's way better than nothing! Just a few days ago I was looking for the snake emoji so I could do this!

And now I finally can! :)

Thank you. I decided to make the snake mostly because the programming language Python & wanted to somehow contribute to Forumojis.

I tried exporting the svgs and using https://svgtopng.com to convert them. It didn't seem to lose any quality

Hmmm… Did they turn out this big for you? In the Scratch editor, I see them all as within the 15x15 size limit, but exporting them from scratch blows them up a bit.

the editor just does this, you can discuss changing this here

The bitmap editor runs at a 2x pixel resolution, so resize the images to half their size. The costume tab will say the costume is 7x7 (or 8x8 depending on how it rounds), but it will export just fine as a 15x15 PNG if the pixels are all there.

It would probably be more reliable to resize the images after exporting them from the Scratch editor. Scratch doesn't show decimal places for costume sizes, so there's no way to guarantee that the costumes are precisely the right size until you've exported them, which could lead to quality loss.

Well, I did have to trim off some of the excess graphic that was created by the conversion…
I almost always work with SVGs in my projects and am not at all used to the bitmap editor.

That only works in comments.
In Forumoji, though, you can use this:

go to the forumoji website and select the bbcode tags with the emoji you want, copy and paste it into your post.

I use https://www.pixilart.com/ and its interface is super easy to use! All of my emojis exported correctly from there as opposed to the 2x scaling weirdness of scratch. I highly recommend!
