What it does
Built to hand back finished work.
Tuned to Discord's own banner formats
The brief targets Discord's 960×540 server banner (16:9) or its narrower profile banner (around 600×240), instead of a generic web-banner shape.
Keeps critical text out of the crop zone
Discord overlays the server name near the top of a server banner, so the brief keeps that strip simple and readable rather than crowding it with detail.
From rough theme to a usable direction
Vizify organizes your theme, audience, and required text into a focused Discord banner brief.
Continue with the context intact
The complete brief opens in Vizify, where you can generate, review, revise, and save the work without rebuilding the prompt.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
What's the difference between a Discord server banner and a profile banner?
A server banner sits at the top of a server's channel list at a wide 960×540 (16:9) format and needs the server at Boost Level 2 or higher, or Discord Partner status. A profile banner sits behind your avatar on your personal profile, uses a narrower strip around 600×240, and needs an active Discord Nitro subscription. Pick the type with the Banner type control and Vizify sizes the brief accordingly.
Do I need Discord Nitro or server boosts to use the banner I generate here?
To display it inside Discord, yes — a server banner needs Boost Level 2 or higher (or Partner status), and a profile banner needs active Nitro. Preparing the brief and generating the image here don't require either; you only need them to upload and show the banner once it's ready.
What size should I design a Discord server banner at?
Discord recommends 960×540 pixels at a 16:9 ratio. Discord's own guidance also asks you to keep the top strip fairly simple, since the server name and channel list sit over that area.
What size should I design a Discord profile banner at?
Around 600×240 pixels covers the standard profile banner; a per-server profile banner runs closer to 680×240. Exact crop behavior can change on Discord's side, so confirm your current upload requirements before publishing.
Can I include my server name or a tagline directly in the banner?
Yes — put the exact wording in your brief. Discord banners route to Vizify's typography-capable image models, but always review the rendered text in Vizify before you save or upload it, since generated text isn't guaranteed to be pixel-perfect.
Will the file be exactly the right pixel dimensions for Discord?
The brief targets Discord's typical server and profile banner proportions, but the generated image isn't a guaranteed exact-pixel export. Confirm the final crop and file size against Discord's current upload requirements before you publish.
Can I generate a banner for a gaming, anime, or professional-looking community?
Yes. Use the Style control to start from a gaming, community, anime-inspired, or professional direction, then describe your game, theme, or brand further in the prompt.
How is this different from the general Banner Generator?
The [AI Banner Generator](/tools/banner-generator/) covers any web, social, or display banner without Discord-specific sizing. This page is tuned to Discord's own server banner and profile banner formats and accounts for the safe zone Discord overlays on each.
Can I use this for a Discord server icon, invite background, or embed image too?
No — this tool is scoped to Discord's server banner and profile banner formats. Server icons, invite background images, and message embeds use different dimensions and aren't generated here.
Do I need an account to use this?
You can prepare the brief here without an account. Sign in to Vizify when you want to generate, save, or reuse the banner.
Can I revise the banner after it's generated?
Yes. The brief you build here opens in Vizify, where you can adjust the prompt, controls, and generation direction, then regenerate or save the result.
What makes a good Discord banner brief
Name the server or profile it’s for, the game, theme, or personality behind it, and whether you need a server banner or a profile banner — the two use different proportions and sit in different places in Discord. Add any exact text you want visible, like a server name or short tagline, plus the colors and mood you’re after. If you have reference art or an existing icon, mention it so the banner reads as part of the same identity.
Common mistakes to avoid
Don’t put important text or a face right at the top edge of a server banner — Discord’s server name and channel list overlay that strip, so it needs to stay simple. Don’t assume the banner will display the moment it’s generated; a server banner still needs Boost Level 2 (or Partner status), and a profile banner still needs active Nitro. And don’t skip a final check of the exported file against Discord’s current size limits before you upload — Discord occasionally adjusts its recommended dimensions.
Server banner vs. profile banner — choosing the right format
Use a server banner when you’re branding the community itself: it’s wide (960×540, 16:9) and visible to everyone who opens the server. Use a profile banner when you’re branding yourself: it’s a narrower strip (around 600×240) shown behind your avatar on your personal profile, visible wherever your profile card appears. If you need both, generate them separately — the crop and safe zones aren’t interchangeable.
