Discord Server Icon Maker

A Discord server icon is the round picture in everyone's server list. Discord asks for a square image of at least 128 × 128 pixels and recommends 512 × 512, then cuts it into a circle, so a logo that touches the corners of its square loses them. This maker crops or pads your image into a crisp square PNG, adds a background colour if you need one, and shows how the round icon looks at 48 pixels in the dark server list before you upload it.

How to use this tool

1. Choose your logo or photo.
2. Keep 512 × 512, or pick another size.
3. For a photo, crop to fill and use zoom and position to centre the subject. For a logo, use "whole image with padding" so its corners stay inside the circle.
4. Pick a background colour (Discord's blurple is the default) or keep it transparent.
5. Download the PNG and upload it in Server Settings → Overview.

Formula

crop to fill: side of the kept square = min(width, height) ÷ zoom · whole image: drawn size = (1 − 2 × padding) × icon size

Position moves the kept square from one edge (−100%) to the other (+100%). A square logo fits completely inside the circle when padding is at least (1 − 1/√2) ÷ 2 ≈ 14.6% on each side; about 10% is enough when its corners are empty.

Example

A 1200 × 800 photo cropped to fill keeps the middle 800 × 800 square (x = 200 to 1000), scaled to 512 × 512. A square logo with 10% padding is drawn at 512 × 0.8 = 409.6 px in the middle of the icon; at 15% it is 358 px, and even its corners stay inside Discord's circle.
