Discord is a platform that was created in 2015 by Jason Citron with the aim of facilitating interlocution between game players in the same game. One of these specificities also concerns the possibility of creating Server banners. Although previously only very popular with video game players, Discord managed to reach 250 million users in 2019 alone. Amazing, isn't it? The ability to create rooms for each of your favorite games adds a whole new dimension to this revolutionary application. However, you can also create rooms that are tailored to your needs. For example, you can create professional or even friendly fairs. But if you want to know the advantages, there is nothing better than to try by registering on Discord. Registration is 100% free, but in case you want to take full advantage of all the advantages choose the Discord Nitro option.
What is a server banner?
Before embarking on the steps of creating a server banner, the best thing to do is to first know what it is. The server banner is an option that has become available to all users since June 2021. The banner would be something of a customizable image that displays at the very top of the channel list. The purpose of creating a server banner is not only to demonstrate to subscribers in an image the design of your server or community, but also to differentiate it from others.
It should be noted, however, that to have a server banner you must pass level 2 of Boosting. If you want an animated server banner, the ideal would be to reach the 3e boost level. Also, the server banner is only accessible for subscribers, i.e. those who have chosen the paid option or Discord Nitro.
Creating a server banner
First, you need to choose an image of your choice that would perfectly suit the image of your community. Be sure that the image you take is a royalty-free image. The ideal image configuration should be around 960*540 pixels. If by any chance your image exceeds this threshold, don't worry, Discord will take care of the resizing. However, choose an image that is original, unique and does not contain text.
The second step is to download the image. The procedure is the same whether you are using an Android or an iOS. First, you need to open your app and enter the profile icon which is at the bottom of your screen. Then choose “User profile”. Now click on “Profile Banner” and insert your image after customizing it. Certainly, downloading a server banner is a procedure that is not as difficult as one might think. For customization on the other hand, it's a whole other story that will concern more your personal creativity. However, you can also hire a pro online editor or graphic designer to make your server banner divine.
