Discord Discord Banner - Recommended Dimensions

Why 960x540 Is the Right Size

Discord uses several different banner slots and they are not the same shape. The server banner is 16:9 at 960x540, while the personal profile banner is much wider and shorter at 600x240. Using one where the other belongs is the usual reason a banner looks squashed.

If the image is not 16:9 Discord crops it to fit. Resizing to 960 x 540 first means you decide what stays in frame.
