Why use this tool?

Load any image to open the crop editor. The selection area is fixed to a 16:9 aspect ratio targeting 960×540 pixels. Use the eight handles to resize and the draggable overlay to reposition your frame over the image. A live dimension readout updates as you make adjustments. When you are satisfied, pick an export format from the dropdown. PNG is selected by default; JPG and WebP are also available, with a quality slider for lossy output. All cropping and encoding happen inside your browser via Web APIs, so your images stay on your device and are never uploaded to any server.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Discord server banner?

Discord recommends 960×540 pixels for server banners. This is a 16:9 aspect ratio that fills the banner area at the top of the server channel sidebar.

Is my file private and secure?

Completely. Your file is processed 100% inside your browser using the Web APIs built into your device. Nothing is uploaded to any server — imgic never sees, stores, or transmits your images. You can even use these tools offline once the page has loaded.

Do I need Discord Nitro to set a server banner?

Server banners are available to servers that have reached Boost Level 2 (7 boosts). Individual Nitro is not required, but the server itself needs sufficient boosts.

Can I use an animated image as a banner?

Discord supports animated banners (GIF) for boosted servers. However, this tool exports static images. For animated banners you would need a GIF editor.

Which format is best for a Discord banner?

PNG works well for graphics and text-heavy designs. JPG is a good choice for photographic banners where a smaller file size is helpful. Discord accepts both formats.
