Resize Image for Discord

Q: What is the best image size for Discord profile avatars, banners, and emojis in 2026?

For Discord profile avatars, use 128 × 128 px (or 512 × 512 px for HD). For user profile banners, use 600 × 240 px (5:2). For server banners, use 960 × 540 px (16:9). For custom emojis and stickers, use 128 × 128 px and 320 × 320 px respectively.

Q: How do I compress Discord emojis to stay strictly under the 256KB limit?

Discord will reject any custom emoji upload exceeding 256KB. Our resizer lets you set a target file size (e.g. 200KB) and exports clean 128 × 128 px PNG or WebP files that instantly meet Discord server requirements.

Q: How do I make transparent background emojis for Discord?

Upload a PNG or WebP image with an alpha transparency channel and resize to 128 × 128 px. Select PNG or WebP as the export format to ensure Discord renders the emoji cleanly across both dark and light desktop themes.

Q: What are the dimensions and requirements for Discord server discovery banners?

Discord requires server discovery banners to be at least 1920 × 1080 px (16:9 aspect ratio). Avoid placing logos or text near the edges, as Discord rounds the corners and adds a subtle gradient overlay on the server menu.

Q: Are my custom Discord emojis or avatars uploaded to any server?

No. 100% of the image processing is executed locally in your browser. No files are uploaded to any server or logged by third parties.

Resize custom Discord profile avatars (128×128), server banners (960×540), profile banners (600×240), server icons, and custom emojis (128×128).
