960x540, Level 2+ server banner
Discord Server Banner Maker
Create animated Discord server banners for boosted servers.
What you can make
- 960x540 banner frame
Match Discord's server-banner dimensions.
- Server-name safe zone
Keep the focal subject clear of the title and chrome area.
- Boosted-server target
Use this when your server already supports animated banners.
- Short looping motion
Trim to a compact loop so the banner loads quickly and does not feel noisy.
Requirements
- Canvas
- 960x540 px
Discord server banners display at a 16:9 ratio.
- File size
- Under 10MB
Animated uploads should stay small enough for clean server settings upload.
- Requirement
- Boost Level 2 or higher
Animated server banners require a sufficiently boosted Discord server.
- Best source
- Wide clips with one clear focal area
Simple motion reads better behind server chrome than busy full-frame action.
How it works
- Upload the source clip
Choose the animation or short video you want to use as the server header.
- Crop to the banner frame
Fit the useful motion inside the 16:9 canvas and keep the subject clear of text overlays.
- Trim and optimize
Keep the loop short and lightweight so the banner uploads cleanly and stays readable.
- Export and upload
Download the result and add it in Discord Server Settings > Overview.
FAQ
What size is a Discord server banner?
Discord server banners display at 960x540 pixels in a 16:9 frame. Short animated files under 10MB are the easiest to upload cleanly.
What boost level do I need for an animated server banner?
Animated server banners require a boosted server with the banner feature enabled, commonly Level 2 or higher depending on Discord's current requirements.
What should I avoid placing in the server banner safe zone?
Keep text, logos, and faces away from the server-name and chrome areas so the subject is still visible after upload.
Can I reuse the same art for a server banner and profile banner?
Yes, but the crops differ. Server banners use a wider 16:9 layout while profile banners use a tighter 5:2 frame.
