Discord Server Banner Resize

A Discord server banner is the landscape image shown at the top of the channel list and as the server invite background — available at Boost level 2 or higher. The recommended size is 960×540px (16:9 ratio) and animated GIFs are supported. The server name and member count overlay the image, so key visuals should be centered and text-free. This tool crops your image to exactly 960×540px, lets you preview the result, and saves it instantly.

Output size: 960 × 540 px

If aspect ratios differ, the image is center-cropped automatically.
