Discord Role Icon Resizer: Crop Any Image to a 64x64 PNG
A Discord role icon is a small square picture shown next to the role name. This tool crops any image to a square, resizes it to 64x64 pixels, and gives you a PNG that is well under the 256 KB limit. Your picture never leaves your device.
Choose an image to start.
How to use it
- Choose an image file. PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF (first frame) work.
- Move the crop. Use the zoom and position sliders to frame the part you want. The preview shows exactly what the icon will look like.
- Pick a size. 64x64 is the standard. 128x128 stays sharper on large screens and still fits the limit.
- Download the PNG. Upload it in Server Settings, Roles, Edit Role, Display, Role Icon.
Your image stays on your device
The tool reads the file with your browser, draws it on a canvas and builds the PNG there. There is no upload and no server step. Close the tab and the picture is gone. You can check this in your browser developer tools: the page makes no network request when you pick a file.
Role icon requirements
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Server boost level | The server needs Boost Level 2 or higher before role icons are available. |
| Permission | You need the Manage Roles permission to edit a role. |
| Image shape | Square. Discord shows it small, so simple pictures read best. |
| Size | At least 64x64 pixels, and the file must be under 256 KB. |
If you do not see the Role Icon field, the server has not reached Boost Level 2. This tool cannot change that.
Picking a picture that works
- Use a bold shape. Fine detail and small text disappear at 64 pixels.
- Center the subject. Discord may round the corners.
- Use a transparent background if you have one. PNG keeps transparency, and the tool does too.
- Own the picture. Use art you made, or art you have permission to use, not someone else's logo.
Without boosts
If your server is not at Level 2, roles can still stand out with a color, and Noxyr can give them out automatically. See the verification bot or the reaction roles docs for self-serve roles. Need other images? Try the server widget generator or the custom emoji docs.
If the file is too big
A 64x64 PNG is almost always a few kilobytes, so the 256 KB limit rarely matters. If the counter turns red, the source is probably a very detailed photo at 128x128. Switch to 64x64, zoom in on the main shape, or choose a simpler picture.
Common questions
What size should a Discord role icon be?
At least 64x64 pixels, square, and under 256 KB. This tool outputs 64x64 or 128x128.
Why can I not see Role Icon in my server?
Role icons need the server to reach Boost Level 2.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens on a canvas in your browser and nothing is sent over the network.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes. The output is a PNG, so transparent areas stay transparent.
