ImgWrench is a free Discord server icon resizer: drop in an image or GIF, crop it square, and download a sharp 512×512 icon. Discord's minimum is 128×128 and it suggests multiples of 128, so we export four times the minimum.

How to make a Discord server icon

  1. Drop your image or GIF into the tool above.
  2. If it isn't square, choose Cover to fill the frame or Crop to pick the area yourself.
  3. Pick PNG to keep a transparent background, JPG for photos, or GIF.
  4. Download your icon.

Uploading to Discord

Open Server Settings from the dropdown arrow next to your server's name; you'll land on the Server Profile tab. Press Change Server Icon, or select the current icon, choose your file, then Save Changes. You can also set the icon when you create a server.

Design tips

  • One clear symbol. The server list shows icons small, so a single bold mark beats a detailed scene.
  • Give it room. Keep the symbol centred with a little space around it, so it doesn't feel cramped at small sizes.
  • Think about the banner too. Discord bases the first banner colour it offers on your current icon, so the two work best designed together.

Why ImgWrench

  • Square, sharp, done. One crop, a 512×512 icon.
  • Built on Discord's guidance. Four times the 128px minimum, a clean multiple of 128.
  • Private by design. Your images never leave your device.

Frequently asked questions

How do I resize an image for a Discord server icon?

Drop your image or GIF into the tool above. If it isn't square, choose Cover to fill the frame or Crop to pick the area yourself. Pick PNG to keep a transparent background, JPG for photos, or GIF, then download your 512×512 icon. Upload it in Server Settings, on the Server Profile tab, with Change Server Icon.

What size should a Discord server icon be?

Discord's minimum is 128×128 pixels, and it suggests cropping large images in multiples of 128. ImgWrench exports 512×512 (128×4), our own pick within that guidance, which stays sharp wherever the icon appears. The server list shows icons small, so one clear, bold symbol with a little space around it beats a detailed scene.

What file types can a Discord server icon be?

Discord's help pages don't list formats or a file size limit for server icons. ImgWrench exports PNG, JPG or GIF, the formats Discord accepts for server avatars: PNG keeps a transparent background, JPG suits photos, and GIF is offered too. Every file shows its size before you download it, so you can see exactly what you're uploading.

Where does the Discord server icon appear?

In Discord's server list and in search results, and on your server's profile card. A clear icon makes your server easy to spot. Discord also bases the first banner colour it offers on your current icon, so if you plan a server banner, design the two together. Keep the symbol centred so it reads at small sizes.

How do I make a round Discord server icon?

Choose Circle under Shape and everything outside the circle becomes transparent in PNG and GIF files, or white in JPG. Where a platform already shows icons as circles, upload the square version; the round one is for overlays, websites and slides. Either way, keep your symbol centred with a little space around it.

Can I use the same image for my Discord profile picture?

Yes. Discord profile pictures are square too, and Discord doesn't publish a size for them, so ImgWrench exports avatars at 512×512 as well. The Discord profile picture resizer makes one from the same image or GIF, in PNG or GIF. That way your server and your own profile can share one look.

Are my images uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens in your browser: ImgWrench resizes your images on your own device, and they are never sent to a server or stored anywhere else. You can confirm this yourself by opening your browser's network tab while you use the tool and checking that no request carries your image data.
