Resize Image for Discord Server Icon
The recommended Discord server icon size is 512x512 pixels — a perfect 1:1 square. Discord masks the icon into a circle and scales it down as small as 32px in the sidebar, so a clean, high-contrast square at 512x512 gives you the sharpest result everywhere. Resize to that exact size below.

It's a square file, but Discord shows a circle
You upload a 512x512 square, but Discord rounds it into a circle (with slightly rounded edges on some clients). That means the four corners of your image are shaved off. Design inside a circular safe zone and keep your logo or mascot centered — anything pushed to a corner will be clipped by the mask.
The icon also has to survive extreme downscaling. In the server sidebar it renders around 48px, and in some crowded views as small as 32px. Fine text, thin lines, and busy backgrounds turn to mush at that size. High contrast and a single bold shape read best. Reserve intricate detail for the banner, not the icon.
Private, browser-based resizing
Because the resize happens locally with the Canvas API, your logo never leaves your computer — nothing is uploaded to toolquarters or anywhere else. Choose the 512x512 preset, drop your artwork in, and download a square PNG ready for the server settings. Animated icons are also supported at Boost Level 1, and keeping a GIF under about 2.5MB helps it load fast.

Frequently asked questions
Why are the corners of my Discord icon cut off?
Discord masks server icons into a circle, so the square corners are always hidden. Keep your logo centered within a circular safe zone so nothing important lands in a corner.
Does the Discord icon have to be exactly 512x512?
512x512 is the recommendation. You can go smaller, but the icon scales down to 48px or less in the sidebar, so starting at 512x512 keeps it crisp when Discord resizes it.
Can a Discord server icon be animated?
Yes, animated GIF icons work once your server reaches Boost Level 1. Keep the file compact — under roughly 2.5MB — so it loads smoothly for members.
