Discord Server Banner Size: 960 × 540
The 16:9 banner across the top of your channel list — cropped so the server name does not sit on your artwork.
Drag the image to reposition it · scroll or pinch to zoom
Batch mode
Every image will be resized to and downloaded as one ZIP. Change the size below before you start.
Works with images up to roughly 50 MP (about 8000 × 6000 px) depending on your device's memory. WebP export is unavailable in a few older Safari versions — the option is disabled automatically when that is the case.
How it works
Three steps, no account, no watermark.
Add your image
Drag a file onto the box, click to browse, or paste straight from your clipboard with Ctrl + V. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Frame it
The crop box is already locked to 960 × 540. Drag the image to move it and scroll or pinch to zoom until it looks right.
Download
Pick PNG, JPG or WebP. The file is compressed automatically to stay under Discord's limit — or grab every Discord size at once as a ZIP.
About the discord server banner size
A Discord server banner is 960 × 540 pixels, 16:9, and it sits above the channel list on the left side of the app. Discord requires Server Boost level 2 before the banner appears at all, so it is worth getting right once the community has unlocked it — it is the first thing members see every time they open the server.
The important detail is the overlay: your server name and a dropdown arrow are printed across the lower portion of the banner, with a dark gradient behind them for legibility. Anything you place in the bottom third is either covered or darkened. Build the banner so the interesting part sits in the upper two-thirds, and let the bottom be a calm area the text can sit on.

Tips for Discord
What actually makes the difference once the size is right.
Keep the bottom third calm
Discord prints the server name over the lower part of the banner with a dark gradient. Artwork there is dimmed and text there is unreadable.
The banner is small on screen
It renders around 240 px wide in the app. Wide shapes and strong colour work; small detail is lost entirely.
Pair it with the server icon
The icon (512 × 512, circular, shown at about 48 px) sits right next to the banner. Matching colours makes the server look properly set up.
Server Boost level 2 required
The banner only displays once the server reaches boost level 2. The invite splash and icon work without it.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Discord server banner?
960 × 540 pixels, 16:9, under 10 MB, as PNG or JPG. This tool exports exactly that.
Why can't I upload a server banner?
Server banners require Server Boost level 2. Until then the option is greyed out — the server icon and invite splash are available earlier.
What size is a Discord server icon?
512 × 512 pixels. It is displayed as a circle at roughly 48 px in the sidebar, so a single bold shape or letter works best.

1920 × 1080 pixels. It is the full-screen background shown behind an invite link, and it is included in the ZIP pack here.
What size is a Discord profile banner?
600 × 240 pixels, a 5:2 strip at the top of your user card. Also included in the pack.
Does Discord accept animated banners?
Animated GIF banners are possible at higher boost levels, but this tool exports still images — PNG, JPG and WebP.
