Discord PFP Maker
Discord crops every avatar into a circle, so a busy or off-center background is the first thing that ruins the look. Drop in a photo, remove the background right here in your browser, and get a crisp cutout that reads well at any size — from the tiny corner of a voice channel to a full profile card.
Discord profile picture size
| Where | Displayed | Upload | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| Profile card / full view | Circle, scales up to profile size | 512×512 (or larger square) | PNG, JPG, GIF (GIF requires Nitro) — Minimum accepted upload is 128×128. |
| Chat & member list | 40×40 circle (approx) | 512×512 (or larger square) | PNG or JPG — Shown small — keep the subject centered and high-contrast. |

Make your Discord PFP background transparent — free
Remove the background right here. Processing runs 100% in your browser — your photo never leaves your device.
PNG, JPG, or WebP
The first background you remove downloads the model: about 100 MB, or 111 MB if your browser runs it on the GPU. It is cached after that.
Get the Discord avatar size right
Discord accepts avatars from 128×128 up and renders them as a circle, so the important part of your image needs to sit in the middle. Because Discord scales your upload down aggressively for member lists and chat, high contrast between your subject and the background matters more than raw resolution. A transparent cutout keeps your face or logo sharp when Discord shrinks it to a few pixels wide.
Remove the background without leaving the page
The background remover runs entirely in your browser. Your photo is never uploaded to a server — the cutout is generated on your own device, so nothing you drop in leaves your computer. Once the background is gone you can drop the subject onto any color or scene, or export a transparent PNG for Discord to place on its own circular frame.

Frequently asked questions
What size should a Discord PFP be?
Discord accepts avatars 128×128 and larger and displays them as a circle. Uploading a square image 512×512 or bigger keeps it sharp on profile cards while still looking clean in tiny chat views.
Can I make a Discord PFP with a transparent background?
Yes. Remove the background here and export a transparent PNG. Discord places it on its own circular avatar frame, so the cutout is all you need.
Does Discord support animated (GIF) avatars?
Animated GIF avatars are a Nitro feature. This tool produces still PNG cutouts, which work for every Discord account whether or not you have Nitro.
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
Not by the remover on this page. It cuts the background out on your own device, and the result goes nowhere. The AI portrait generator this page links to is the one step that sends anything: it posts your photo from your browser straight to Google on your own Gemini key. Either way there is no Drewvy image server and no account holding your picture.
