Discord and LinkedIn Image Sizes Guide
Published July 15, 2026By Samson PG
Wrong pixels get soft crops from the platform. Resize to Discord and LinkedIn dimensions in your browser before you upload.
Social image sizes are the pixel dimensions each platform expects for avatars, banners, and posts. Uploading a random phone photo works, but Discord and LinkedIn will crop and recompress — better to resize yourself first.
Quick size table
| Platform | Purpose | Prep pixels |
|---|---|---|
| Discord | Avatar | 512 × 512 |
| Discord | Profile banner | 680 × 240 |
| Discord | Custom emoji | 128 × 128 |
| Profile photo | 400 × 400 | |
| Cover / banner | 1584 × 396 |

Practical workflow
- Crop to the right aspect (square for avatars, wide for banners) with Crop Image.
- Open the matching size page or Resize Image.
- Export JPG/PNG as the platform allows.
- Optionally compress if a site has a file-size cap (Compress Image).
- files are not uploaded to our servers for processing during resize.
Why “close enough” still looks soft
Platforms downscale large uploads. Starting at the display size (or 2× for retina) keeps edges cleaner than a 12 MP selfie crushed into a 128px circle.

File size vs pixels
Discord emoji packs and some upload UIs also enforce a max file size. After you hit the pixel size, run Compress Image if the upload still rejects the file. LinkedIn profile photos are usually forgiving on KB; banners benefit from a clean wide crop more than extreme compression.
Privacy
Profile photos are personal. Prefer browser-only resize so drafts never hit a random “social size” uploader.
FAQ
PNG or JPG for Discord emoji?
PNG with transparency when you need a clear cutout; keep 128×128 and watch the Discord file-size limit for emoji packs.
Does LinkedIn need exactly 400×400?
It is a solid prep size. Larger squares are accepted but will be scaled — 400×400 (or 800×800) keeps you in control.
Can one banner work for Discord and LinkedIn?
Aspect ratios differ (680×240 vs 1584×396). Export two crops from the same master.
Is my image uploaded to TryQuickImg?
