Zoom runs from 100 to 300. At 100 the banner shows the biggest piece of the picture that has the banner's shape. Higher numbers take a smaller piece and enlarge it.

Horizontal position and Vertical position slide that piece across the picture, from 0 at the left or top edge to 100 at the right or bottom. At a Zoom of 100, at most one of them moves anything.

Text is one line across the middle. Once you type, Text color and Text size appear. The text gets a black outline, or a white one if its color is dark, so it reads over any picture. Text too long for the banner shrinks to fit.

Discord banner size

A Discord profile banner has a 5:2 shape, and 600 x 240 px is the size most often given for it. The tool always makes a 600 x 240 GIF. Animated banners need Discord Nitro.

What to put on a Discord banner

A gameplay clip, a looping landscape, your art, or your name over a moving background.

Discord banner GIF limits

The GIF keeps its frames and timing, and a transparent background stays transparent. A still picture comes out as a one-frame GIF. A GIF larger than 1000 px on its long side is scaled down to 1000 px, and one with more than 300 frames is thinned to 300 or fewer. A long GIF at a large size can be thinned further.
