Discord avatars are available in PNG, WEBP, and — for animated avatars — GIF. Animated avatars have a hash starting with 'a_' and are exclusively available to Discord Nitro subscribers.

Question 3

What sizes can I download a Discord avatar at?

Accepted Answer

Discord CDN supports sizes 128, 256, 512, 1024, and 4096 pixels. For best quality on high-DPI screens or profile displays, choose 1024px or 4096px.

Users without a custom avatar receive one of five default colored avatars chosen by their user ID. This tool shows the correct default for any user who has never set a custom avatar.
