Why size matters
Platforms crush oversized uploads with their own compression, which is where muddy, blurry avatars come from. Uploading at the size the platform actually displays keeps your PFP sharp. See the full Discord PFP size guide for the details per platform.
FAQ
What is the best size for a Discord PFP?
Discord displays avatars at 128×128 and scales down from there. Uploading a square image of 128px or a clean multiple like 512px gives the sharpest result.
Does resizing reduce quality?
Downscaling a larger image is safe and keeps things sharp. Upscaling a tiny image cannot add detail — always start from the biggest source you have.
