What size is a Discord banner?

The profile banner is 600 × 240 px (5:2) and the server banner is 960 × 540 px (16:9). Both can be up to 10 MB.

Do I need Nitro for a Discord banner?

For a profile banner, yes; without Nitro you can only pick a banner color. Server banners need Boost level 2, and the invite background needs level 1.

Why is part of my Discord banner hidden?

Your avatar overlaps the lower left of the profile banner. Keep text and faces on the right half.

What size is a Discord server icon or avatar?

512 × 512 px, and at least 128 × 128. Discord shows both as circles.

Can my Discord banner be a GIF?

Yes, animated GIF banners work with Nitro. This tool exports still JPG, PNG or WebP files, so use a GIF editor for animation.

Yes, every tool is free to use, with no account and no watermark. Free use covers 20 images per batch (50 with a free account) and files up to 20 MB. Pro ($9 a month or $65 a year) and the $2.99 Day Pass add 500-image batches, 50 MB files and one-click ZIP downloads.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. CropDen crops, resizes and compresses images in your browser, so the files never leave your device and nothing is stored on a server.

Do I need an account?

No. Every tool works without signing up. A free account raises the batch limit from 20 to 50 images, and paid plans need one for billing.

Can I resize many images at once?

Yes. Drop several images into the tool and each one is resized to the size you pick, cropped from the center or the top, or fitted whole with a fill. Free use handles 20 per batch (50 with an account), downloaded one by one; Pro and the Day Pass handle 500 at a time with one ZIP.

Does CropDen add a watermark or lower the quality?

No watermark is added. Exports keep the full resolution of your crop, or the exact platform size, and are saved as JPG at 90% quality unless you change the format or quality; where a platform caps the file size, the export is kept under it.

Discord uses the word banner for three different images. The profile banner is the strip at the top of your profile card; without Nitro, Discord fills it with a color you choose. The server banner is shown above the channel list, with the server name written over its top edge (about 48 px, measured). The invite background is the splash behind your server's invite link.

The server sidebar is only a few hundred pixels wide, so a 960 × 540 banner is shown much smaller than the file. Use a bold image or large lettering, and keep the top strip quiet so the name stays readable.

Your avatar circle sits over the lower left. Measured from the desktop app, it's roughly 162 px across, starting about 28 px from the left edge and 134 px from the top, so it covers the left third of the lower half and hangs below the banner. Discord doesn't publish this and the profile card has changed a few times, so the tool marks the overlay as approximate.

Put text, a name or a logo on the right half.
Keep the left third of the lower half plain. A gradient or texture is fine there.
Go easy on fine detail. The profile card shows the banner small, so one strong image beats a collage.

Drop an image above, paste it with Cmd/Ctrl+V, or load the sample.
Pick profile banner, server banner, avatar or invite background.
Drag and zoom until nothing important sits under the avatar outline. For the avatar and server icon, turn on the circle preview.
Download PNG for pixel art and flat graphics or JPG for photos. Nothing is uploaded.

Your avatar overlaps the lower left of the profile banner, and the server name covers the top edge of a server banner. Anything that isn't 5:2 or 16:9 is also cropped to the middle. Export at the exact size and keep text away from those two areas.

Discord shows banners small, so blur usually comes from the source rather than the display: a banner made from a screenshot, a tiny image enlarged to 600 px, or fine text in a low-quality JPG. Start from a larger original and export PNG when the banner is mostly lettering.

Animated banners

Discord takes PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF, with animated GIF banners reserved for Nitro. This tool exports still images, so for an animated banner use an editor that keeps the GIF frames.

One design for Discord and Twitch

The Discord profile banner and the Twitch profile banner (1200 × 480) are both 5:2. Make the Twitch version first, then load it here and export at 600 × 240. The overlays differ (Discord covers the bottom left, Twitch puts your channel name in the middle), so check both previews.
