Discord PFP Size: 512 x 512, Shown as a Circle
The right Discord PFP size is a 512 x 512 square. Discord accepts anything from 128 x 128 up and scales it down to the small circles you see in chat. Upload a photo to check it at each size and download a 512x512 pfp. Free and no signup, and photos stay in your browser.
This crop is smaller than Discord's 128 x 128 minimum. It may look blurry. Try a larger photo or a wider crop.
This is exactly how your PFP shows up in chat.
This is larger than your crop. Enlarging it won't add detail.

Why 512 x 512 Is the Size to Aim For
Discord only ever scales an avatar down. A 512 x 512 square stays sharp at every size on the chart, while a 128 x 128 upload looks fine in chat but can look soft in larger views. Going far above 512 mostly adds file size without making the avatar look sharper.
Discord Server Icon and Server Logo Size
The Discord server logo size follows the same rule as a PFP: 512 x 512 recommended, 128 x 128 minimum, square, shown as a circle in the server list. The cropper above works for server icons too.
A Discord PFP Resizer That Shows the Result First
Most tools resize and hope. This Discord PFP resizer previews the crop at 32, 40 and 80 pixels while you drag, so you can tell whether your face still reads in a chat row before you upload. Pick 512 or 128 as the output, or keep your original crop size.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Discord Resize My Profile Picture Automatically?
Yes. Upload a square of at least 128 x 128 and Discord makes the smaller versions itself. The square you upload is the one it keeps.
Is 128 x 128 Too Small for a Discord PFP?
It meets the minimum, but it can look soft in larger views like your profile. Use 512 x 512 when you can.
Can I Use a Photo That Is Not Square?
Yes, but crop it to a square here first so you decide how it is framed. Otherwise you are trusting the upload dialog to pick the crop for you.
Can I Make a Small Photo Bigger for Discord?
You can set the output to 512, but enlarging a small crop does not add detail. Crop a wider area of a larger photo instead.
