Resize Image for Discord Server Banner
The recommended Discord server banner size is 1920x1080 pixels (16:9), which requires Server Boost Level 2. Discord accepts a minimum of 960x540, but uploading at the full 1920x1080 keeps the banner crisp on large monitors. Resize your image to the exact pixels below right here in your browser.

Where the server banner appears (and what gets cropped)
The server banner sits behind your server name at the top of the channel list. Discord overlays the server name and a subtle gradient across the lower portion, so any text you place near the bottom-left of a 1920x1080 image can be obscured. Keep logos and key artwork in the upper-center region.
There are actually two different Discord banners people confuse. The server banner is 1920x1080 and unlocks at Boost Level 2. The separate Nitro profile banner — the strip behind your personal avatar — is 600x240 (a 5:2 ratio) and requires a full Nitro subscription. If you are styling your personal profile rather than a whole server, resize to 600x240 instead.
Discord caps banner uploads at 10MB and supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and animated GIF.
Resize without uploading your artwork anywhere
Our resizer runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API, so your banner artwork is never sent to a server. That matters for original designs and commissioned art you do not want floating on someone else's cloud. Pick the 1920x1080 preset (or type 600x240 for a Nitro profile banner), drop in your image, and download the resized PNG — the file stays on your device the whole time.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my Discord banner look blurry?
Blurry banners usually mean you uploaded below 1920x1080 and Discord upscaled it. Export at the full 1920x1080 rather than the 960x540 minimum, and avoid re-compressing a JPG multiple times.
What is the difference between a server banner and a profile banner?
The server banner is 1920x1080 and needs Server Boost Level 2. The Nitro profile banner behind your personal avatar is 600x240 and needs a full Nitro subscription.
Can I use an animated GIF for my Discord banner?
Yes. Animated GIF banners are supported with the right boost or Nitro tier, but keep the file under 10MB so it loads quickly for everyone viewing your server.
