Users can interact with each other through text, video calls, and voice chats. Most commonly used in the video gaming community, Discord lets users engage, discuss strategy and chat with each other live while playing video games. They can create private channels and share files and media on Discord servers or communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">In recent years, it\u2019s become an excellent place for those with online communities to meet up virtually and engage with each other. Community-building is a large part of digital marketing initiatives today for any brand that wants high recall value and engagement from its users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Discord also has a paid version called Discord Nitro that lets you create custom emojis, upload GIFs, and a host of other cool features. (more on this as you read on).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Graphic design is a massive part of creating communities and online content. Creating high-quality, engaging graphics helps communicate your community\u2019s core purpose and also draws people in to be part of it!

A few pointers to keep in mind: ensure it stays within the specifications above and that the most noticeable part of your profile picture stays in the center. This is because Discord profile pictures are a cropped, circular version of the image you upload.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\" wp-block-list eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-931d59\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Image size: 128 x 128 pixels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">File size: 8 MB<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">File type: JPG, PNG, GIF<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">There are two different kinds of profile pictures you can use for Discord.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Regular_profile_picture\"><\/span>Regular profile picture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Use any image, such as photos, memes, objects, designs, illustrations, or other visuals, in JPG or PNG formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GIFs\"><\/span>GIFs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">You can also get creative and upload GIFs that play continuously on a loop.

Within each server, you can find Discord channels on many different topics. Channels foster <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.flipsnack.com\/secrets-to-leveling-up-internal-corporate-communication\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">great communication<\/a>, allowing people to have meaningful conversations about their topic of interest through voice and text. For instance, in the gaming community, members connect through voice in real-time as they play. In other communities, text chat could be the primary mode of communication. It all depends on what community members prefer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Every Discord server also needs its own logo or avatar to make it easily recognizable. It appears wherever your server is visible to other Discord users. For instance, in sidebars, on your profile, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\" wp-block-list eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-61965f\">\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Image size: 512 x 512 pixels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">File size: 8 MB<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\" eplus-wrapper\">File type: JPG, PNG, GIF<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><strong>Bonus: <a href=\"https:\/\/simplified.com\/blog\/ai-writing\/discord-bio-ideas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">55 Aesthetic Discord Bio Ideas You Can Steal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\" wp-block-heading eplus-wrapper\" id=\"h-discord-emoji-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Discord_Emoji_Size\"><\/span>Discord Emoji Size<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized eplus-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/siteimages.simplified.com\/blog\/Discord-emoji-3-1.webp?auto=compress&amp;fit=scale&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;h=576&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16988\" style=\"width:710px;height:400px\" title=\"discord emoji\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\" eplus-wrapper\">Custom emoji creation is a feature that\u2019s available only to Discord Nitro users.
