Discord Server Banner File Size Limit? Fix Upload Errors (Image Too Large)

If your Discord server banner is too large to upload, reduce dimensions, switch formats, and export a clean banner that uploads reliably.

Common Symptoms

File size exceeds the current upload limit for your client/feature

Banner exported at very large dimensions

PNG banner is huge due to transparency/noise

Animated formats can be much larger than expected

Try a smaller export with fewer pixels (lower width/height). Large banners can become huge files quickly.

Use JPG for photo-heavy banners to reduce file size. Use PNG for text/logos, but crop tightly and avoid giant transparent canvases.

Remove noisy gradients, heavy filters, or unnecessary details. These can increase file size significantly.

If the mobile client errors, try uploading from desktop/web to rule out client-specific upload issues.

Not confirmed here. Limits can vary by client/features. If you see an “image too large” error, reduce dimensions and switch to JPG for photos.

Export smaller dimensions and use JPG for photo-heavy banners. For text/logos, keep PNG tightly cropped and avoid large transparent areas.

Over-compression or exporting too small can blur details. Try a higher-resolution export with moderate compression and re-upload.
