What size is a Discord avatar?

Discord displays avatars as a 128 by 128 pixel circle, but you should upload at least 256 by 256 pixels so it stays sharp on high-density screens. The image is square on upload and cropped to a circle, so keep your subject centred.

What are the dimensions of a Discord server banner?

A server banner is 960 by 540 pixels at a 16:9 ratio. Discord recommends uploading at that size or larger with the same ratio; the maximum file size is 10 MB and animated GIF banners are supported on boosted servers.

How big can a Discord custom emoji be?

Custom emoji are displayed at 32 by 32 pixels but you can upload up to 128 by 128 pixels. The file must be under 256 KB, and both static (PNG/JPG) and animated (GIF) emoji are allowed on supported servers.

What is the max file size for Discord image and video uploads?

Without Nitro the upload cap is 25 MB per file. Nitro Basic raises it to 50 MB and Nitro to 500 MB. Server boost levels can also raise the per-server upload limit, so check both your plan and the server tier.

What aspect ratio does a Discord invite splash use?

The invite splash background is 1920 by 1080 pixels at 16:9. It appears behind the invite screen for boosted servers, so use a high-resolution 16:9 image and keep important detail away from the edges that may be cropped.

Discord image & video size cheatsheet

Discord uses different dimensions for nearly every asset — a circular avatar, a 16:9 server banner, tiny 128 px emoji — and getting any of them wrong means a blurry or rejected upload. This cheatsheet collects the official sizes, aspect ratios, formats and file-size limits for every Discord image and video slot in one filterable list.

How it works

Each entry maps a Discord asset to its display size, the recommended upload size (usually 2× the display size for retina sharpness), the aspect ratio, the accepted file formats, and the maximum file size. Avatars and server icons are square uploads cropped to a circle; banners and splashes are 16:9; emoji and stickers are small with tight KB limits. Filter by category to jump straight to the asset you are exporting.

Tips & notes

Upload at 2× the display size so assets stay crisp on retina screens.
Keep subjects centred for circular crops (avatars, server icons).
Animated GIF banners, icons and stickers require server boosts.
Upload caps scale with Nitro (25 → 50 → 500 MB) and server boost level.
