What makes a Discord PFP good?

At Discord sizes, the only thing that matters is readability. A clean crop, strong contrast, and a simple background usually beat fancy compositions.

Should my face fill most of the avatar?

Usually yes. If your face is tiny, people cannot recognize you in servers. Aim for a head-and-shoulders crop that still works in a circle.

Are logos or text avatars okay?

They can work if the design is extremely simple. Thin text and complex logos often become unreadable at 32–48px.

What background is best?

A plain or softly blurred background with clear separation from your face/subject. Avoid clutter and low-contrast tones.

What image size should I use?

Discord recommends 128x128px minimum, but upload at 512x512px or higher for best quality. The platform will resize it automatically.

Can I use GIFs as my Discord PFP?

Yes, if you have Discord Nitro. Keep animations simple and ensure the first frame looks good since that is what static users see.
