Discord-friendly sizes

Discord raises upload limits for paying tiers; everyone benefits from smaller files when mobile data is tight. Compress before uploading so previews generate quickly.

  • Memes and UI screenshots: JPEG or WebP, moderate quality
  • Server banners and icons: check current pixel and file limits in Discord’s docs

Typical Discord workflows

For chat images, export near 1920px wide or smaller, then compress until uploads feel instant on mobile. For emoji-style assets, start from a small canvas so you are not fighting a multi-megabyte PNG.

Limits change

Always check Discord’s current documentation for maximum upload sizes by plan. This tool helps you reduce bytes regardless of the limit—pick a target that fits your usual sharing.

Format choice

Animated GIFs are a separate workflow—this tool focuses on static JPG, PNG, WebP, and BMP. For still memes, WebP or JPEG usually beats PNG on file size.
