Discord Server Icon Too Small or Cropped? Fix Blurry / Tiny Logo Issues
If your Discord server icon looks tiny, blurry, or cropped, export a larger square, add padding, and preview circle safe areas before uploading.
Common Symptoms
- Server icon looks too small in the circle
- Logo edges are cut off after upload
- Icon looks blurry or jagged
- Text becomes unreadable at small size
Common Causes
1
Icon exported too small (low resolution)
2
No padding, so circle crop cuts the edges
3
Thin text/details don’t survive downscaling
4
Compression artifacts from the export format
Step-by-Step Fixes
1
Export a larger square (try 1024×1024)
A higher-resolution export often stays sharper after upload. Discord can downscale to smaller display sizes.
2
Add padding (safe area) around the logo/text
Discord icons are displayed in circles. Keep critical details away from the outer edge so they don’t get cut.
3
Use PNG for logos/text
PNG preserves sharp edges and avoids blocky artifacts around text and lines.
4
Simplify the design for small display
Increase contrast, remove tiny text, and avoid thin outlines—server icons are often viewed at very small sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Discord server icon cropped?
Server icons are typically displayed as circles. Add padding and keep important details away from the edges.
What size should I export to avoid blur?
A safe export is 512×512, but 1024×1024 often looks cleaner after Discord downscales.
PNG or JPG for server icons?
PNG is best for logos, text, and sharp edges. JPG is usually better for photos.
