Key Dimensions and Reference Table
| Asset Type | Dimensions | Aspect Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile banner | 600 x 240 | 2.5:1 | Nitro required |
| Server banner | 1920 x 1080 | 16:9 | Displayed as 16:9 crop |
| Server icon | 512 x 512 | 1:1 | Cropped to circle |
Safe Zones for Discord Banners
Keep key content centered. Discord applies rounded corners and crops, so avoid placing text at the edges.
Server banners may scale down on smaller screens, so use large, high-contrast elements.
Export Settings
Use PNG for crisp graphics and JPEG for photos. If you are using gradients, export at a higher quality to avoid banding.
Keep file sizes under 10 MB to prevent upload errors.
How to Resize for Discord
Set the banner size in PixelPerfect Resizer and export. For profile banners, use 600 x 240. For server banners, use 1920 x 1080.
Test the banner on both desktop and mobile to confirm the crop.

Common Mistakes
- Using small text that disappears after scaling.
- Placing logos near the corners where they get cropped.
