Pro Tips for Discord PFPs
Technical Tips
- Size matters: Discord displays PFPs at 128x128px but stores up to 1024x1024px. Use at least 512x512px for best quality
- Square format: Discord crops everything to a circle on desktop, square on mobile - center your subject!
- File formats: PNG for quality, GIF for animation (Nitro only)
- Test visibility: Your PFP appears tiny in chat - make sure it's recognizable at small sizes
Design Tips
- High contrast: PFPs with good contrast are easier to recognize
- Simple is better: Avoid overly detailed images that become muddy when shrunk
- Consider your servers: Match your PFP to the communities you're most active in
- Color coordination: Match your PFP colors to your banner for a cohesive profile
