A Discord server banner without opening a design app

A server banner is the first thing newcomers see above the channel list. It should say what the community is about without clutter. Describe the theme and mood, and the bot paints a wide banner with room at the left for the name.

When you need this

Most banner templates are made for gamers only and your server is about knitting.
The banner gets cropped and your art loses its focus.
You need a matching icon and banner and have no design skills.

Cropping and size

Discord shows the banner wide and thin at the top of the channel list, and crops the edges on narrow screens. Put the important part in the center and use the sides for texture. After uploading, look at it on both desktop and phone. If a face or object gets cut, rerun with 'subject centered, wide margins'. Redo the crop once and you rarely have to touch it again.

Matching the community

A study group wants calm and neat. A raid team wants contrast and motion. A fan server wants characters, which you should draw from your own ideas and not from brand assets. Whatever the theme, stay consistent: use the same palette for icon, banner and role colors, and the server feels thought through. Moderators can then recognize the server at a glance in any list.

Tips

Keep the subject on the right and the left calm for the server name.
Pick two main colors that also suit your role colors.
Ask for 'simple shapes' because the banner is displayed small.
Generate a square icon in the same style as a second run.

Questions and answers

Do I need Nitro or a boost level?

Banners are tied to server boost levels on Discord. Check the current requirement in server settings.

Can I make an animated banner?

No. The bot makes still images.

What does it cost?

2 credits per image. New users get 15 free credits, so 7 images cost nothing. After that packs start at 49 Telegram Stars and credits do not expire.

Does the bot work in English?

Yes. It picks up your Telegram language on first launch. You can switch it any time with /lang.

What the bot does not do

Does not place a logo exactly. You can send it as a reference, the result is approximate.
Long text on the image can come out with misspellings. Short captions work better, proofread before publishing.
Does not make video or animated stories.
Does not output a transparent PNG or a layered file.
