Size Discord avatars, banners, emoji, and stickers separately
Personal avatars, server icons, Nitro banners, custom emoji, and stickers are different jobs. Crop each surface instead of stretching one file.

Open a guide for exact pixels, safe zones, and an in-browser crop for that surface.
Avatar
512 × 512
Circular user icon—design for tiny chat size.
Server icon
512 × 512
Sidebar server mark—same circle rules, different brand job.
Profile banner
960 × 540
Nitro profile flair with margin for UI.
Server banner
1920 × 1080
Boosted server header—practical Full HD upload.
Custom emoji
128 × 128
Reaction / shortcut glyph—bold center mark.
Sticker
320 × 320
Larger express chat stamp—not an emoji.
Chat icons vs flair vs reaction stamps
Discord avatars and server icons both need to read at tiny sidebar sizes—busy designs fail. Fill the circle with a bold mark.
Personal profile banners (Nitro) are a different ratio from boosted server banners. Treat them like short billboards—not square upscales.
Custom emoji (128×128) and stickers (320×320) are reaction art—not shrunk server icons. Export dedicated glyphs.
