A Discord server icon is a 512x512 pixel square shown as a circle in the server sidebar. Upload your logo below, centre it in the crop box, and download an icon sized for the server list and the invite page.
| Recommended size | 512 x 512 pixels |
|---|---|
| Sidebar display | Around 48 pixels |
| Aspect ratio | 1:1 (square) |
| Displayed shape | Circle |
| Supported formats | JPG, PNG, GIF |
| Best practice | Simple mark or 1 to 3 letters, high contrast |
