Discord Image Sizes — Server Icon, Banner & Emoji Dimensions
Discord uses a different set of image dimensions for server branding, profiles, and custom assets. Uploading at the correct size keeps icons crisp in their circular crops and prevents banners from being stretched or compressed.
All Discord Dimensions
Server Branding
- 512 x 512 — Server icon (cropped to a circle)
- 960 x 540 — Server banner (16:9, minimum size)
- 1920 x 1080 — Invite splash (16:9, full-screen)
Profile
- 128 x 128 — Profile avatar (displays smaller, circular crop)
Custom Assets
- 128 x 128 — Custom emoji (stays under 256KB)
- 320 x 320 — Sticker
- 64 x 64 — Role icon
Discord Image Optimization Tips
- Design icons for a circle: server icons and avatars are cropped to circles — keep logos and faces centered, away from the corners.
- Banner needs Boost level 2: server banners require your server to reach Boost Level 2, and the recommended upload is 960x540 or larger at 16:9.
- Keep emoji bold and simple: custom emoji display at roughly 32px in chat, so upload a clean 128x128 image with strong shapes that read at small sizes.
- Mind the file size limits: emoji must stay under 256KB and stickers under 512KB — compress before uploading to avoid rejection.
- Animated assets need Nitro: animated emoji and stickers require Discord Nitro and should use GIF or APNG formats.
