# Discord Banner Downloader

View and download Discord banners in HD with a banner-first preview. Grab any user's Discord profile banner as PNG or GIF, and download the profile picture too when needed.

Use the generator on this page in your browser, then copy the result into Discord. No Discord login or bot token is required for the core tools.

## Discord banner size & specs

Discord profile banners use a wide landscape crop. Upload larger source art, then let Discord crop to the live banner area. Animated banners require Nitro and use GIF (or animated WebP on Discord’s CDN).

Use this Discord banner downloader to preview and save an existing banner after lookup. To crop your own art to Discord’s presets, use the [Discord banner size converter](https://discorder.tools/discord-banner-size-converter/) (profile 600×240, server 960×540, splash 1920×1080).

| Asset | Recommended size | Aspect / notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Profile banner | 600 × 240 px (5:2) | Nitro · keep art centered |
| Server banner | 960 × 540 px (16:9) | Boost Level 2+ |
| Invite splash | 1920 × 1080 px (16:9) | Boost Level 1+ |
| File type | JPG, PNG, or GIF | Animated needs Nitro / higher boost |
| Download via this tool | CDN original | PNG for static, GIF when animated |

## Related tools for profile media

This page is banner-first: paste a Discord User ID, preview the profile banner, then download PNG or GIF. If you mainly need the avatar at full resolution (or want an avatar-first layout), use the [Discord PFP Grabber, Downloader & Viewer](https://discorder.tools/discord-pfp-downloader/) — same ID lookup, with the profile picture as the primary result and the banner still available when present.

Don’t have the User ID yet? Start with [Discord ID Lookup](https://discorder.tools/discord-id-lookup/) to resolve the public profile from an ID, confirm the account, then come back here (or to the PFP tool) to download the banner or avatar from that same ID.

## How It Works

Fast steps to view Discord banners first and download them in full quality.

- **Enter Discord ID:** Paste a Discord User ID to fetch the profile instantly. The tool prioritizes the user's banner in the results showcase.
- **Preview Banner First:** See the Discord banner in a large preview before the avatar section, making it easier to inspect colors, artwork, and animation.
- **Download Banner or Avatar:** Save the Discord banner in PNG or GIF depending on the source asset. If needed, you can still download the profile picture from the same result.

## Expected Results

Why this Discord banner downloader is useful for quick, high-quality lookups.

- **HD Banner Preview:** View Discord banners in a large showcase that highlights profile artwork, gradients, and animated banners clearly.
