Discord banner resizer

Choose the banner that matches its location

A profile banner sits behind your personal profile; a server banner appears above the server’s channel list. They use different shapes. Discord’s profile guide gives a minimum of 680×240 and a file under 10MB. Its server guide recommends 960×540, a 16:9 canvas. This page starts with the profile preset; switch to the server preset for a server header. Still PNG, JPG and WebP inputs export as PNG, while animated GIFs remain GIFs.

Choosing your settings

The crop follows the selected banner ratio. Move X and Y to keep faces or text inside the wide strip; changing the preset recenters the crop. Transparent padding keeps the whole image but leaves unused space. Uploading a custom profile image or animation requires Nitro. Static server banners require Boost Level 2, animated server banners Level 3. Server byte limits are not specified in the cited guide: the editable 1MB preparation target here is a GIFBloom suggestion, not an official upload limit.

If the result needs another pass

If your subject is cut off, move the crop or choose padding. If an animation misses the target, trim it or explicitly allow frame reduction. A correctly sized file does not unlock Nitro or server perks, and acceptance still needs checking in Discord. Use the separate avatar and sticker pages for those placements.

GIF timing note: missing, 0 ms and 10 ms frame delays are read as 100 ms. Other supported delays are retained unless the task changes timing or the frame sequence. Re-encoded animation may therefore differ from a viewer that handles unusually short delays differently.
