Discord Banner Size (2026)
Discord banner size depends on where the banner appears. The server banner that sits above the channel list is 960x540 at a 16:9 aspect ratio. Your profile banner is 600x240 (a 5:2 ratio). The invite splash, the background behind a server invite link, is also 960x540. Below you'll find every Discord banner placement with exact pixel dimensions, the file types each one accepts, and the Boost level needed to unlock it.
Requires Server Boost level 2. Shown at the top of the server.

Discord design tips that matter
Knowing the pixel sizes is half the battle. Here's what separates designs that get engagement from designs that don't.
Boost levels unlock banner features
Server banner requires Boost level 2 (15 boosts). Invite splash unlocks at Boost level 1 (2 boosts). Plan upgrades around these.
Use the invite splash for first impressions
The invite splash is the FIRST thing potential members see. Make it instantly communicate what the server is about.
Animated banners on Nitro
Discord Nitro users can use animated GIFs for both profile pictures and profile banners. Subtle motion massively stands out.
Server icons need to read at 32 pixels
Most users see your server icon at tiny sizes in their server list sidebar. Design with that small size in mind, not the 512x512 upload size.
