About the Discord server banner size
A Discord server banner is 960 by 540 pixels, a 16:9 image that sits at the top of the channel list once a server reaches the boost level that unlocks it. Because it is a wide, short strip above the channels, keep any text horizontally centred and legible small. Boosted servers can upload an animated GIF banner, but a clean static image often reads better than a busy loop. Use PNG for crisp graphics and GIF only when the motion adds something.
Quick tips
- 01960 by 540 (16:9) is the server banner size.
