Resize a Discord Profile Picture
Discord displays your profile picture as a circle and looks best with a square upload of at least 128 by 128 pixels, shown as large as 512 by 512. Off-square images get cropped and small ones look fuzzy. Resize to a clean square so your PFP stays sharp everywhere it appears.
Resize to 512×512Discord image sizes
| Use | Dimensions | Ratio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile picture (PFP) | 512 × 512 px | 1:1 | Displayed as a circle. Upload square and keep the subject centered. |
| Minimum PFP | 128 × 128 px | 1:1 | The floor Discord accepts. Larger looks crisper on profiles. |
| Server icon | 512 × 512 px | 1:1 | Also shown as a circle in the server list. |
| Custom emoji | 128 × 128 px | 1:1 | Discord downscales emoji to 32px, so keep the art bold and simple. |

A 512px square looks crisp at every size Discord uses, from tiny chat avatars to the profile popout.
Center for the circle crop
Discord masks your PFP into a circle. Keep the subject centered so the corners are not the important part.

Tips that make a difference
Design for the circle
Anything in the corners of your square gets hidden by the circular mask. Keep the focus in the middle.
Go 512 for sharpness
Uploading at 512px keeps your avatar clean on the profile popout, where a 128px image can look soft.
Use GIFs with Nitro
Nitro members can set an animated GIF avatar. Keep it square and small so it loads quickly.
