**Short answer.** Use a 512×512 or larger square for the server icon, 960×540 (16:9) for the server banner, 1920×1080 for the invite background, up to 128×128 for emoji and 1024×1024 for Rich Presence art. Keep all of them in the same colours and logo as your in-game branding.

## Key points

- Server banner: **960×540 (16:9)** is Discord’s own recommendation; it needs boost level 2.
- Invite background: **1920×1080**, JPG or PNG; needs boost level 1.
- Server icon: square, **512×512 or larger**, shown as a circle or rounded square.
- Rich Presence art: **1024×1024**, uploaded in the Discord developer portal.

For most FiveM communities the Discord is where a player decides whether you are worth installing a mod client for — before they ever see your loading screen. Discord publishes some of its image sizes and leaves others to the upload dialog, so this guide collects them all and explains how to make the whole server look like one brand.

## All Discord image sizes

| Image | Size | Format / limit | Unlocked by |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Server icon | 512×512 or larger (square) | PNG, JPG; animated GIF with boosts | Everyone |
| Server banner | 960×540 (16:9) | PNG, JPG; animated with boosts | Boost level 2 |
| Invite background | 1920×1080 | JPG, PNG | Boost level 1 |
| Custom emoji | Up to 128×128 | 256 KB | Everyone (slots grow with boosts) |
| Sticker | 320×320 | PNG, APNG, GIF or Lottie; 512 KB | Boost slots |
| Role icon | 64×64 minimum | PNG/JPG; 256 KB | Boost level 2 |
| Rich Presence art | 1024×1024 | PNG, JPG | Discord application |

> **Boost requirements change** — Discord occasionally moves perks between boost levels. The sizes stay stable; check the server settings screen for what your level currently unlocks.

## The server icon

Discord shows the server icon in the server list, invites and mentions — sometimes as a circle, sometimes as a rounded square. Upload a large square (1024×1024 is a good master) and keep the mark inside a centred circle about 80% of the width, so nothing is clipped in either shape.

Use the same symbol as your 96×96 FiveM [server icon](https://fam-tools.com/guides/fivem-server-icon). Seeing the same mark in Discord and in the server browser is what tells a player they are in the right place.

## Server banner and invite background

The banner sits at the top of the channel list. Discord’s support article recommends **960×540** with a 16:9 ratio, and notes that 1920×1080 also uploads and is resized. Because the channel list is narrow, the visible part is roughly the middle of the image — design the banner around a centred subject.

The invite background is a full-screen image shown behind your invite link and must be **1920×1080** in JPG or PNG. It is the first thing a new player sees when they click an invite from TikTok or YouTube, so a screenshot of your city at golden hour does more than any text.

## Emoji, stickers and role icons

- **Emoji** display tiny, so design each at 128×128 with a thick outline. Server-specific emoji (your logo, your police badge, your currency symbol) make the community feel like a place.
- **Stickers** are 320×320 and larger in chat; good for reaction images from your own screenshots.
- **Role icons** appear next to names; a small badge for staff, police, EMS and gangs helps players read the room.

## Rich Presence art

The “Playing on …” card on a player’s profile is free advertising to all their friends. Its images are uploaded to a Discord application in the developer portal, and Discord strongly recommends **1024×1024**. FiveM sets the application and the images with natives — the full setup is in [the Rich Presence guide](https://fam-tools.com/guides/fivem-discord-rich-presence).

## Making Discord and the game one brand

1. Pick one accent colour and use it for the Discord role colours, the loading screen and the HUD.
2. Use the same logo mark on the Discord icon, FiveM icon and loading screen.
3. Reuse your loading screen background as the invite background (resized to 1920×1080).
4. Match channel naming to in-game terms (#city-hall, #lspd) so the Discord feels like part of the city.

The structure of the Discord itself — channels, roles, bots and onboarding — is covered in [setting up a FiveM Discord](https://fam-tools.com/guides/fivem-discord-server-setup). For the full list of sizes across the game, see the [image sizes guide](https://fam-tools.com/guides/fivem-image-sizes-assets-guide). The Discord banner and icon come out of the same design as the rest of your branding in [a graphics pack](https://fam-tools.com/graphics), already at these sizes.
