Why Use This Tool?

Discord servers are community hubs — your server icon and banner are the first things new members see. The server icon is circular and displayed at small sizes in the sidebar, demanding a bold, clear design. Emojis are a core part of Discord culture, and proper sizing ensures they look crisp in chat.

Privacy First — 100% Client-Side

Your images are processed entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded to any server. You can verify this by disconnecting from the internet after loading the page — the tool works offline.

Tip: Discord server icons appear as tiny circles in the sidebar — sometimes as small as 40×40 pixels. Design your icon so the core element (the symbol or first letter) is still identifiable at that size. Simple, bold shapes work far better than detailed illustrations.

Tips for Discord Images

Server icons are circular and often displayed at 40–48px. Test your design at small sizes before uploading.
Custom emojis at 128×128 must be under 256KB. Use PNG with transparency so emojis don't have a white box in dark-themed chat.
Server banners (960×540) display at the top of the channel list sidebar. Keep it atmospheric — avoid cramming too much text.
Stickers are 320×320 and support animated APNG format for Nitro servers. Simple, expressive illustrations work best.
Invite splash screens (1920×1080) are shown in the background when someone opens an invite link — a great branding opportunity for large communities.
