Discord Server Icon Maker
Your server icon is how members find your server in the left sidebar. This page turns any logo or image into a 512×512 square, centred for Discord’s round icon. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Need a smaller file instead? Compress or convert.
Drag the preview to choose which part of the image is kept. The same framing is used for every image in the batch.
Getting the Discord server icon right
The server icon represents your community in the sidebar, invites and discovery. A centred 512×512 square works everywhere Discord shows it.
Sidebar circle
Shown small and round in the server list.
Bold contrast
Strong colours stand out among other servers.
Fit wide logos
Use the fit option to keep the whole logo.
Used in invites
The icon appears on invite links and in discovery.
About 41 KB–82 KB as JPG
A typical photo at 512×512 saves to roughly 41 KB–82 KB at good quality — well within the upload limit.
You choose the crop
Filling 512×512 from a 3:4 phone photo trims about 25% of it. Drag the preview to choose what stays, or tick the fit option to keep everything.

An icon members spot in the sidebar
The sidebar is tiny. Server icons are shown as small circles in a vertical list. Bold shapes and strong colour contrast make yours easy to spot among dozens of others.
Centred, with padding. The circle crops the corners. Use the fit option to place a wide logo inside the square with space around it, or drag the preview to centre a character.
Without an icon Discord shows the server’s initials — a custom icon looks far more inviting in invites and server discovery.

Frequently asked questions
What size is a Discord server icon?
512×512 pixels is the recommended square. Discord shows it as a circle, so keep the logo centred.
Can my Discord server icon be animated?
Animated (GIF) server icons need a boosted server. A still PNG works everywhere.
Why is my server icon cropped?
Discord shows it as a circle. Keep the logo in the middle with padding.
Is the server icon the same as my PFP?
Both are 512×512 squares shown round, but the server icon represents the whole community.
Are my images uploaded?
No. Resizing happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted or stored, and you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
