How to Create Custom Discord Role Icons
Custom role icons help differentiate staff, donors, and achievements on your server. Using our free online Discord role icon generator, you can craft crisp, recognizable role symbols in just three steps:
- Select a Base Icon: Search over 3,000 vector icons and choose a high-quality SVG graphic.
- Customize Style: Apply background shapes (squircles, circles, stars, shields), customize gradients/solid colors, adjust sizing, offset, and add custom drop shadows.
- Download & Upload: Export your creation as an optimized PNG or SVG. Go to your Server Settings > Roles in Discord to upload it.
Discord Role Icon Specs & Size Requirements
For the best visual quality, your server assets must comply with Discord's upload guidelines. Expand each specification below to see requirements and recommendations:
Requirement: 64 x 64 Pixels.
Recommendation: Discord renders role icons at 20x20 pixels in the chat area and sidebar lists. Uploading at 64x64 or higher ensures your design remains crisp and clear without losing detail on high-DPI displays.
Requirement: PNG, SVG, JPG, WEBP, or GIF.
Recommendation: Use PNG or SVG format. SVG provides infinite scaling and the smallest file sizes, while PNG offers transparent background support which looks far superior in both Discord's dark and light theme views.
Requirement: 256 KB maximum.
Recommendation: Keep file sizes as small as possible (ideally under 50 KB) to ensure role icons load instantly for all server members, especially those on mobile devices or slower connections.
Requirement: Server Boost Level 2.
Recommendation: Custom role icons are a premium Discord feature. Your Discord guild must have at least Level 2 boost status to allow managers to assign custom images or emojis as icons next to roles.
