How to add a guild symbol in Metin2

  1. Design your symbol above — upload an image or draw one, marking areas Transparent as needed.
  2. Click Download to get a 16×12 BMP with magenta-key transparency.
  3. In Metin2, as guild leader, open the guild window and choose upload / change symbol.
  4. Point it at your downloaded file and confirm.
  5. The symbol appears next to your guild name once the guild data refreshes for members.

Only the guild leader can change the symbol. The upload menu wording differs slightly between official and private (pserver) builds; the 16×12 file works on both.

About Metin2 guild symbols

A Metin2 guild symbol is the little 16×12 badge shown above your members' heads next to the guild name, plus in the guild window and member lists. It's the fastest way other players recognise your guild during guild wars, boss runs and the crowded maps around the metin stones — so a clean, instantly-readable mark matters more than detail.

The client is picky about the file: it must be exactly 16×12 pixels, and it accepts .bmp, .tga, .jpg or .gif. For a symbol that isn't trapped in a colored box, you want transparency — a BMP that uses magenta #FF00FF as the see-through color (what this tool exports) or a TGA with a real alpha channel. Paint the negative space with the Transparent option here and the client drops it out, leaving just your shape floating beside the guild name.

Design tips for Metin2 symbols. At 16×12, simplicity wins every time. Pick one strong idea — a skull, a beast head, a blade, a crown, or a tight one- or two-letter monogram — in two or three high-contrast colors. Photographs, gradients and small lettering all dissolve at this size. Because the badge sits over many different map backgrounds, check it on the dark and light preview swatches above so the silhouette holds up everywhere. Run Enhance to reduce the palette and crisp the edges before exporting, and keep a clear magenta border around the design so the transparency cuts cleanly.

Symbol upload failing in Metin2? Common fixes

  • “Wrong size” or the upload is refused. Metin2 wants 16×12 — a 16×16 file from another game's emblem tool is the single most common mistake. This page always exports 16-wide by 12-tall.
  • A pink/magenta box shows around the design. Magenta #FF00FF only reads as transparent in formats the client keys — if you re-saved the BMP as JPG, the compression shifted the magenta pixels and broke the key. Use the downloaded BMP untouched.
  • Fuzzy pink halo at the edges. Anti-aliased pixels between the design and the magenta background are almost #FF00FF, so they render as pink fringes. Run Enhance to snap edge pixels to solid colours, or clean the outline in the Pixel Editor.
  • No upload option in the guild window. Only the guild leader has it, and some servers gate it behind guild level — check your server's rules.
  • Works on official but not a pserver (or vice versa). Nearly all builds share the 16×12 format, but a few pservers relocate the upload menu or restrict formats to BMP only — the BMP from this page is the safest bet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Exactly 16×12 pixels — not 16×16. The Metin2 client rejects any other dimensions, so this tool always outputs a 16-wide by 12-tall image.

The client reads .bmp, .tga, .jpg and .gif at 16×12. For transparency, a BMP that uses magenta #FF00FF as the see-through color, or a TGA with an alpha channel. This tool exports a 16×12 BMP with the magenta key applied, which the client treats as transparent.

Paint those pixels with the Transparent option (the tool writes them as magenta #FF00FF in the BMP). Metin2 then renders those areas as see-through, so the symbol floats cleanly next to your guild name instead of sitting in a colored box.

As the guild leader, open the guild window in-game and choose the upload/change-symbol option, then point it at your 16×12 file and confirm. Members see the new symbol after the guild data refreshes.

Twelve by sixteen pixels is tiny. Bold single icons, a skull or beast head, a simple weapon, or a one- or two-letter monogram read far better than photos or fine text. Use Enhance to cut the color count and sharpen edges after shrinking a larger logo.

Above characters next to the guild name, in the guild window, and on member and guild lists — it's the badge other players associate with your guild out in the world and during guild wars.

Yes. Official Gameforge servers and the vast majority of Metin2 private servers use the same 16×12 symbol format, so the file works either way. The exact upload menu can differ slightly between server builds.

No. The entire tool runs locally in your browser with HTML5 Canvas; your picture never leaves your device — safer than the random symbol packs shared on old forums.

The built-in gallery is tuned for this size. For more, game-icons.net has 4,000+ CC BY 3.0 icons (skulls, beasts, weapons that suit Metin2), SVG Repo has a large CC0 catalogue, and OpenClipart is public domain. Pick a bold silhouette, drop it in, and run Enhance.
