Profile banners are available to Nitro subscribers, and server banners require a certain server boost level. Discord may change these rules, but the recommended dimensions have stayed the same for a long time.
Why the right size matters
If you upload an image with the wrong proportions, Discord crops it automatically — often cutting off text or faces. A wide 680×240 banner is very different from a normal photo, so it is best to decide yourself which part is shown. With Crop to fill and the position sliders you can keep exactly the area you want.
Design tips for Discord banners
- Keep important content in the centre. On profile cards, your avatar overlaps the bottom-left corner of the banner.
- Use high contrast so the banner looks good in both dark and light Discord themes.
- Avoid small text — banners are shown small on phones.
- Animated GIF banners are not supported by this tool; it produces still PNG, JPG or WebP images.
Making a round avatar? Use crop image into circle. Need a square icon without cutting anything? Try make image square.
