Discord banner size at a glance

A small banner that is mostly corner

Discord's profile banner is a 16:9 strip across the top of the profile card, and 960 × 540 is the size that covers it on a high-density screen without wasting bandwidth. It is displayed small — this is a card inside a chat client, not a page header — so fine detail is lost and a single clear image reads best.

The avatar sits over the bottom-left of the banner, a circle roughly a fifth of the banner's width, and the display name and pronouns appear directly beneath. Anything placed at the bottom left is behind the avatar, and the composition that survives is one that keeps its subject centred or right.

The banner is also cropped slightly on the narrower profile popout compared with the full profile view, so the very edges should be treated as bleed rather than content.

How to resize an image to 960 × 540

  1. Drop your image on the panel above — or paste it, or drop several at once to do a batch.
  2. The width and height are already set to 960 × 540, and the aspect lock is off so both numbers are honoured exactly.
  3. If your source is a different shape, crop it to 16:9 first — resizing a different ratio straight to these numbers stretches it.
  4. Pick an output format. JPEG for photographs, PNG for flat colour, text and anything needing transparency.
  5. Download. Nothing was uploaded at any point — the resize ran on your own machine, in this tab.

Questions

Do I need Nitro for a banner?

A static profile banner is available without it on most account types; animated GIF banners are a Nitro feature. The dimensions are the same either way.

Why does my banner look soft?

Usually because it was uploaded smaller than 960 × 540 and is being scaled up on a high-density display. Going above that size adds nothing.
