About the Discord profile picture (avatar) size
A Discord avatar is best uploaded at 512 by 512 pixels and is always displayed as a circle. It shows beside your name in every message, so it is usually small; a bold centred image reads best. Discord accepts a minimum of 128 by 128, but 512 gives it room to look crisp on larger displays and in the profile popout. Nitro subscribers can upload an animated GIF avatar; everyone else uses a static JPG or PNG.
