Discord Server Banner Maker｜Export a 1920×1080 Boost Level 2 Banner in One Click
Build a Discord server invite banner from a server name, a one-line tagline, a background style, and three colors, then export it as a 1920×1080 PNG sized exactly for Boost Level 2 server banners. No resizing, no aspect-ratio math.
💡 The First Thing Invitees See — Built to Discord's Recommended Size
When someone clicks a Discord invite link, the server banner is the first thing they see above the server name and member count. Generic banner makers force you to enter dimensions, hunt for the right preset, or trim away pixels later. This tool is already locked to the recommended 1920×1080, 16:9 that Discord ships banners at, so you never have to fight Discord's image picker.
You set a server name (up to 30 characters), a one-line tagline (up to 60), a background mood (solid, gradient, or grid), and three colors — main, secondary, and text. The text auto-shrinks down from a large base size so longer names still fit. Use solid for a logo-feel, gradient when your community has two brand colors, or grid when you want a more structured, dev-friendly look.
🧐 Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What do I need before I can use a server banner on Discord? Your server has to reach Boost Level 2, which requires 7 server boosts from members. Once you hit Level 2, a Server Banner Background field appears in Server Settings → Overview where you upload the image.
Q. What size does this tool export? It exports a 1920×1080 PNG at 16:9. Discord accepts a minimum of 960×540 and recommends 1920×1080, so the tool targets the recommended size directly.
Q. Can I make an animated (GIF) banner here? No. This tool only exports a still PNG. Animated server banners are a separate perk that unlocks at Boost Level 3 and need a GIF source — those aren't covered by this tool.
Q. Why does Discord show my server name on top of the banner? Discord overlays the server name across roughly the top 28% of the banner inside the client. This tool already pushes your designed name and tagline into the lower half of the canvas so it doesn't fight that overlay.
Q. My text gets cut off — what happened? Server name caps at 30 characters and the tagline at 60. Both auto-shrink, but very long single words can still hit the minimum font size and clip. Try a shorter wording or break the idea across name + tagline instead of stuffing it all in one field.
Q. Should I design for dark mode? Most Discord users browse with the dark theme. White or near-white text on a mid-to-saturated background color reads cleanly on dark UI. Avoid pure dark backgrounds with low-contrast text or your server name will disappear into the client chrome.
📚 Why Boost Level 2 Is Where Banners Live
Discord's Boost system is a tiered perk model: members spend a Nitro boost slot on the server itself, and as the boost count grows, features unlock in stages. Level 1 adds emoji slots and audio bitrate, Level 2 unlocks the Server Banner and the Invite Banner image, and Level 3 adds a custom server URL and animated banners on top.
That means the server banner isn't just decoration — it's also a signal that the community is funded enough to clear seven boosts. For server owners who just hit Level 2, the bottleneck shifts from "do I qualify?" to "do I have a 1920×1080 image ready?" Sizing a banner correctly the first time matters because Discord crops outward from the center, so anything off-axis or off-spec gets shaved by the client on different screen widths.
