Discord Banner Resizer

Discord's minimum for a profile banner is 600 × 240 pixels (a 5:2 ratio), and that is what the tool crops to. Server banners are 960 × 540 minimum (16:9) — upload 1920 × 1080 for the sharpest result. Both have a 10 MB file-size cap. Keep anything important away from the very top and bottom edges: Discord trims the visible strip depending on where your profile is shown.

Only the server banner. That one is 16:9 — 960 × 540 or 1920 × 1080. A profile banner is 5:2, minimum 600 × 240, which is considerably wider and shorter. Getting these two confused is the single most common reason a banner uploads looking wrong, because a 16:9 image dropped into a profile slot gets its top and bottom cut away.

600 × 240 pixels at a 5:2 ratio is the documented minimum, under 10 MB. The ratio matters more than the absolute numbers; this tool exports at the 600 × 240 minimum, which Discord upscales cleanly. Because Discord crops the visible strip differently depending on where the banner appears, leave a little breathing room top and bottom.

Crop it to the right ratio first, then export at the target size — 600 × 240 for a profile, 960 × 540 or larger for a server. That is exactly what the tool above does, in your browser, with a live preview of the avatar overlap. Resizing without cropping to the ratio is what produces the squashed or cut-off results, since Discord centre-crops anything that does not match.

Explicit banners breach Discord’s Community Guidelines. A profile banner cannot be age-gated the way channel content can — it is visible in every server you are in, including ones with minors — so it is held to an all-audiences standard wherever you use it. Enforcement is report-driven and ranges from forced removal to account termination for repeat or severe cases.

Discord center-crops any image that isn't the exact ratio: 5:2 for profile banners, 16:9 for server banners. If your image is taller or wider, the edges get cut. Crop to the exact ratio first — that's what this tool is for — and use the live preview to check the avatar overlap before uploading.

Yes — custom profile banners are a Nitro feature. Without Nitro your profile shows a solid color instead (your accent color). Server banners don't need Nitro, but the server needs Boost Level 2.

Discord accepts animated GIF banners (profile banners need Nitro). This tool exports static PNG/JPG/WebP — re-encoding an animated GIF in the browser produces poor results, so we don't pretend to. Crop your GIF's dimensions in a video/GIF editor using the sizes from the guide above.

No. The crop and export run entirely in your browser with the canvas API — the image never leaves your device. That's also why it's fast.

PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF (animated needs Nitro for profiles), all under 10 MB. PNG keeps sharp edges and text crisp; JPG/WebP give smaller files for photos. The tool warns you if your export exceeds the 10 MB cap.
