What size should Discord profile banners be?

Discord profile banners should be 600×240 pixels with a 5:2 aspect ratio. A Discord Nitro subscription is required to upload a profile banner.

Do I need Discord Nitro for banners?

For profile banners, yes - you need Discord Nitro. For server banners, your server needs to reach Boost Level 2. Animated server banners require Boost Level 3.

Why does my banner look cropped on desktop?

Discord profile banners display differently on mobile vs desktop. On desktop, only the center 300 pixels of height are shown. Keep important content centered to avoid cropping.

Does this tool support animated banners?

This tool can resize GIF images for banners. However, animated server banners require Server Boost Level 3, and profile banners don't support animation.

Discord Server Banner Requirements

Server banners are displayed at the top of your Discord server and create the first impression for new members. The recommended size is 960×540 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio.

Keep the top 48 pixels relatively simple - the server name appears there as an overlay. Animated GIF banners require Server Boost Level 3.

Discord Profile Banner Requirements

Profile banners appear behind your avatar on your Discord profile. They should be 600×240 pixels with a 5:2 aspect ratio. Discord Nitro is required to add a profile banner.

On desktop, only the center 300 pixels of height are visible - the top and bottom get cropped. Keep important content in the middle.

Banner Safe Zone Tips

Discord displays banners differently on mobile and desktop. To ensure your banner looks good everywhere:

Profile banners: Keep important content in the center 300px (desktop crops top/bottom)
Avoid placing text or logos near the edges
