Discord Server Icon Resize

A Discord server icon is the image that represents your server in the server list, invite links, and search results. The recommended size is 512×512px (1:1 ratio), and since it shrinks to a 48×48px circle in the sidebar, simple and clear designs work best. Servers at Boost level 1 or higher can use animated GIF icons. This tool lets you resize logos or illustrations to exactly 512×512px, preview the result, and save instantly.

Output size: 512 × 512 px

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

FAQ

Can I use a GIF for my server icon?

Servers with Boost level 1 or higher can use animated GIF icons. Non-boosted servers are limited to static images.

Why does my server icon look blurry?

If the source image is smaller than 512×512px, Discord upscales it, causing blur. Always use an image at least 512×512px.

What is the maximum file size for a server icon?

Server icons can be up to 10MB. Supported formats are JPG, PNG, and GIF (Boost level 1+).

How large does the server icon appear in the sidebar?

It shrinks to a 48×48px circle in the server list. A 512×512px original ensures it stays sharp after downsizing.

Can I use a transparent background for the server icon?

Yes, uploading a PNG preserves transparency. Just make sure it looks natural on both dark and light mode backgrounds in the server list.
