Discord Banner Resizer (Server/Profile/Invite)

Design to the banner’s aspect first

Server and invite placements live in a classic 16:9 rectangle. Profile banners are wider at 8:3, and the HD variant stretches to a long strip suited to large displays. Begin with the destination you care about most, compose a balanced frame, and then let the resizer generate the remaining sizes. If your source art is taller than these shapes, the tool fits the full image inside the target rectangle so nothing gets hard cropped. Use padding to keep elements from sitting too close to the edges and to create a calmer rhythm that reads well on small screens.

When you are deciding where to position focal elements, think about how the Discord interface wraps around each banner. Avatars, lists, and buttons can share the frame, so a confident focal point plus a quieter background usually performs best. If the layout feels busy, increase padding a notch or reduce the number of competing details. Subtle gradients behind type can help establish separation without adding visual noise.

Use the safe-area guides

On phones and compact windows, corners and edges are the first places to be covered by overlays. The guides visualize a conservative inset that keeps titles, faces, and logos readable on a range of devices. Treat the lines as working rails while you iterate, then toggle them off to judge the final artwork on its own. If your subject has asymmetry, consider biasing it slightly toward the center of the safe area rather than the exact geometric center of the frame; that small nudge often produces a more natural balance.

Work larger, export smaller

High-resolution sources downscale more cleanly and help preserve diagonal edges, fine curves, and gentle gradients. If your original has heavy sharpening or film grain, it may look crunchy after resizing; exporting a cleaner version from your editor typically fixes this. For type, avoid hairline weights and ultra-thin scripts in the smallest banner. Medium to bold weights with simple shapes tend to hold up, and adding one or two percent more padding can dramatically improve legibility without changing the design intent.

Color, contrast, and hierarchy

Mid-tone mush disappears behind interface chrome, so commit to either a light-on-dark or dark-on-light relationship. When text sits on top of photography, slightly reduce contrast beneath it or add a soft vignette. If your palette is very saturated, reserve the brightest accent for a single focal element and let the rest of the frame breathe. This keeps the eye from ping-ponging and helps the banner feel intentional rather than loud.

File size and performance

The live estimate in the tiles gives a quick sense of export weight. Big flat regions compress well; noise, tiny patterns, and aggressive sharpening push sizes upward. If a version looks heavy, smooth the busiest textures, simplify micro details, or increase padding so fewer small shapes compete inside the frame. The aim is fast display without sacrificing clarity.

A simple, repeatable workflow

Keep a layered master in your editor. When you need an update, export a clean PNG or WebP, drop it here, toggle the guides, set padding, and export the sizes you require. Use the individual buttons when you only need one placement, and the ZIP when you want them all in one go. Clear filenames with size suffixes make team hand-off easier and prevent mix-ups across servers and profiles. Because the tool runs entirely in the browser, you can experiment freely and keep your original artwork safe on your machine.

• Prefer large, clean sources over tiny or oversharpened images.
• Check the smallest banner first; if it reads there, the larger ones will follow.
• Use padding to create breathing room and consistent rhythm.
• Keep focal elements inside the safe area; let backgrounds stay calm.
• Name exports clearly so future updates remain organized.

Does this upload my image anywhere?

No. Everything happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Images are never sent to a server.

Will it crop my artwork?

By default it fits your image inside the target aspect with optional padding, so there is no forced crop. If you want strict cover framing, export and crop in your editor for pixel-perfect control.

What sizes are included?

Server 960×540, Profile 600×240, Profile HD 1920×480, and Invite 1920×1080.
