Discord profile banner, 680x240
Your profile banner is not your server's banner. It is 680x240, it lives in User Settings, and animating it needs Nitro rather than boosts.

What discord profile banner is for
The profile banner is the strip across the top of the card that pops up when somebody clicks your name. It belongs to you, not to a server, and it is set under User Settings, Profiles. People confuse it with the server banner constantly, which is understandable given they are both called banners and neither is where you would look for it.
Discord stores it at 680x240 and renders the card narrow, with your avatar overlapping the lower left corner as a circle. That overlap is the whole layout constraint: the bottom left quarter is effectively unusable. The 680x240 in a pack pushes the lockup to the right of centre and keeps the invite on the upper right, so the avatar lands on background.
Animation requires Nitro. Not boosts, not a server tier, Nitro on the account whose profile it is. This is the single most common mix-up in Discord branding, because the server banner rules are about boost levels and the profile banner rules are about subscriptions. If you do not have Nitro, the still PNG is the one you upload and it looks exactly like the first frame of the animation.
For a server owner this format is worth more than it looks. Your profile card is what people see when they click your name in a ticket, in an announcement or in a support thread, and a card that carries the same branding as the server quietly signals that you are the person who runs it.
File size budget
- GIF 18fps, 3.2s, built under 9.5MB
- Animated version requires Nitro on your own account
- The avatar overlaps the lower left of the card
- Built under 9.5MB at 18fps over 3.2 seconds
Mistakes that cost people a re-upload
- Looking for it in Server Settings, where it is not
- Buying an animated banner without Nitro on the account
- Centring the lockup, so the avatar covers part of it
- Using the 960x540 server banner here, which crops badly at 17:6
Discord profile banner questions
What size is a Discord profile banner?
680x240, set under User Settings, Profiles. Keep the lower left clear, because your avatar overlaps that corner as a circle on the profile card.
Do I need Nitro for an animated profile banner?
Yes. The animated personal banner is a Nitro feature on your own account. Server boost levels do not unlock it.
Is this the same as the server banner?
No. The server banner is 960x540 under Server Settings and needs boost Level 2. The profile banner is 680x240 under User Settings and needs Nitro.
Designs that suit 680x240
The avatar covers the lower left, so the quieter scenes that carry their interest in the upper right work best.
