A personal profile header
Use the wide 680 × 240 profile preset for a scene, texture, or detail that complements your avatar. A large, simple subject holds together better than small text in this shallow space.

Which Discord banner are you making?
| Banner | Canvas | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | 680 × 240 px | Your main profile · Nitro image-banner feature |
| Server | 960 × 540 px | Above the channel list · eligible server |
| Server HD | 1920 × 1080 px | Double-size 16:9 canvas for the same server placement |
Discord lists 680 × 240 as the minimum for main-profile banners and recommends at least 960 × 540 for server banners. A server banner requires Boosting Level 2 or an eligible Partner server. The crop tool prepares your file; your Discord account or server controls where it can be used.
A small change, ready to use.
A recognizable server entrance
Crop a community image to 960 × 540 for a server banner. Place the main visual below the top clear area so the server name has space above it.
A larger server banner file
Choose 1920 × 1080 when your source photo has enough detail for the larger canvas. It uses the same 16:9 composition as the standard server preset, with twice the width and height.
MAKE THE DETAILS YOURS
Frame a banner for where it will appear
Choose profile or server first
The profile preset is much wider than the server presets. Select the destination before adjusting the photo so the preview shows the composition you will actually export.
Keep the top of a server banner calm
Leave the top 48 pixels clear of text and busy details at 960 × 540, or 96 pixels at 1920 × 1080. Discord places the server name in that area.
Check the Discord upload preview
After saving the PNG, inspect it in Discord before applying it. Profile banners require Nitro and a file under 10 MB; server banners require Server Boost Level 2 or Partner eligibility.
From your photo to a finished PNG.
Open a static image
Choose a PNG, JPG, or WebP image up to 10 MB and 24 megapixels. A wide, high-resolution source gives you more room to choose the crop.
Select a size and frame the photo
Choose profile 680 × 240, server 960 × 540, or server HD 1920 × 1080. Adjust zoom and position while watching the banner preview.
Save the banner PNG
Download the cropped image and open the appropriate banner setting in Discord. Check file size, account or server eligibility, and the final placement before saving there.
Your questions, answered.
What size should a Discord profile banner be?
Discord lists 680 × 240 pixels as the minimum size for a custom profile banner. This tool exports that size with the profile preset. Uploading a profile banner requires Nitro, and Discord requires the file to be under 10 MB.
What size should a Discord server banner be?
Use a 16:9 image at 960 × 540 pixels. This tool also offers a 1920 × 1080 preset with the same proportions for a larger source image. Server banner access requires Server Boost Level 2 or Partner eligibility.
How much space should I leave at the top of a server banner?
Keep the top 48 pixels of a 960 × 540 banner free of text and busy detail so the server name stays clear. At 1920 × 1080, leave the equivalent top 96 pixels clear.
Why does switching from profile to server change my crop?
A 680 × 240 profile banner has a wider shape than a 16:9 server banner. Switching presets changes the visible frame. Reposition the photo after choosing the destination to keep the important subject inside the new crop.
Can I make an animated Discord banner here?
This cropper works with static PNG, JPG, and WebP images and exports a static PNG. Use it to prepare the still-image composition for a profile or server banner.
Why can’t I upload my banner to Discord?
Check that you are editing the intended profile or server, that banner uploads are available for that account or server, and that the file meets Discord’s requirements. For a profile banner, verify Nitro access and a file size strictly under 10 MB.
Will the 1920 × 1080 preset improve a small photo?
The larger preset creates more output pixels, but a small or blurry source still has limited detail. Use a sharper original when possible, or choose 960 × 540 if it better matches the resolution of your source.
Is the Discord banner cropper free, and where is my image processed?
The cropper is free and runs in your browser. It uses no account or credits. Your selected image is processed locally, and the download is a PNG at the dimensions of your chosen preset.
