How to Resize Images for Discord Server Icons at imgresizr.com

Upload your server icon image or logo to imgresizr.com. Use the Crop tool to set a 1:1 square ratio. Discord applies a rounded square mask to all server icons — keep important design elements away from the corners, as they will be clipped. Use the Resize tool to set 512×512px — this is the optimal size that Discord will downscale from as needed. For icons with text, ensure the text is legible at 48×48px (the size displayed in a crowded server list). Use the Enhance tool to make colours vivid — server icons compete visually with dozens of other servers in the sidebar. Export as PNG for logos with transparency or JPG for photographic icons. Compress to under 1MB.

Discord Server Icon Tips

  • Animated GIF server icons are available for Boosted servers (Level 1+) — they significantly increase visibility
  • Simple, bold designs outperform complex, detailed icons at the small sidebar display size
  • Use your server's primary theme colour prominently — it helps members identify your server quickly
  • Test how your icon looks in Discord's dark mode (default for most users) before finalising
