How to set an animated profile banner on Discord

Animated profile banners require Discord Nitro or Nitro Basic. Steps:

  1. Build your banner above. Pick a template, edit colors and text in the preview, click download.
  2. Open Discord settings. Click the gear icon next to your username (bottom-left on desktop).
  3. Profiles → Change Banner. Upload the GIF you just downloaded.
  4. Reposition and apply. Drag to adjust the visible area, then click "Apply."

Upload the file straight from Creavite's download. Don't re-export it in another app first, since Discord re-encodes everything you upload and each extra compression pass loses detail.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a Discord banner?

Pick any template on this page, edit the text and colors in the preview, and click download. You get a GIF (animated) or PNG (static) sized to Discord's 600×240 spec. To upload it: Discord Settings → Profiles → Change Banner. Animation plays once Nitro is active on the account.

Is Creavite's Discord banner maker really free?

Yes. Every template on this page renders and downloads for free, with no watermark and no signup required. The only paid feature is an optional $0.99 add-on for using your own image as the background.

What size is a Discord profile banner?

Discord profile banners display at 600 × 240 pixels (a 5:2 aspect ratio). Every template here is rendered at exactly that resolution, so what you see in the preview is what gets uploaded, with no cropping or scaling artifacts on Discord's end.

Do I need Nitro for an animated Discord profile banner?

For an animated GIF banner, yes: Nitro or Nitro Basic. Static profile banners (PNG/JPG) became free for all users in late 2024, so you can still set a still image as your banner without a subscription.

Why does my Discord banner look blurry?

Discord re-encodes every image you upload, and the result depends on the source. Two things help: upload the file straight from Creavite's download (already at 600×240, under 10 MB), and don't open and re-export it in another tool first, since each compression pass loses detail before Discord even sees it.
