Discord Profile Banner Maker
Make a banner for your personal Discord profile. Type a name, add a photo, and download a wide banner in the shape Discord expects.
Preview at 680 × 240.
Auto picks the biggest size that fits. Choose a number for exact control, from 12 to 600 px.
Your photo stays on this device. It is never uploaded.
A short video ad plays first, and your download starts as soon as it ends. That is how this tool stays free.

This page exports at twice the recommended size (1360 × 480) so the banner stays sharp on high-density screens. Discord scales it to fit.
How to make a Discord profile banner
- Type your username or a short tagline.
- Choose a background. Add a photo and set it to Round photo on the right, because your avatar overlaps the lower-left of the banner.
- Pick a text color that stands out against the background, or let the template suggest one.
- Click Download profile banner. A short video ad plays, then your PNG downloads.
- In Discord, open User Settings, then Profiles, and upload the file as your banner.
Design tips for a Discord profile banner
- Expect a short, wide strip. It is about three times wider than tall, so long sentences get tiny. Use a few words.
- Keep faces and text away from the lower-left, where your avatar sits.
- Choose a background that still looks good behind your profile card colors.
- If you want a matching look, make your server banner with the same colors.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Discord profile banner?
Use 680 × 240 pixels, with 600 × 240 as the minimum Discord accepts. It is a wide, short strip, so keep the design simple.
Do I need Nitro?
Yes. Discord only lets Nitro members add a banner to their own profile. Server banners work differently and depend on server Boosts.
Why does my banner look cropped?
Discord fits the image to its profile card, and your avatar covers part of the lower-left. Turn on the safe zone guide here and keep your text inside it.
Can I make an animated banner?
Not here. This tool creates still PNG or JPG images only.
