How to Set Up a Discord Invite Splash

The invite splash is the background image potential members see when they click your invite link. A strong splash increases join rates.

What Is the Invite Splash?

When someone visits your invite link (discord.gg/yourlink), they see a page with your server name, icon, member count, and a background image — that's the invite splash.

Requirements

Boost Level 1 (requires 2 server boosts)
Image minimum: 1920×1080 pixels
File type: PNG, JPG, or GIF
GIF animated splashes require Level 3

Setting Up the Invite Splash

Go to Server Settings → Overview
Scroll to Invite Splash
Click Upload Splash
Upload your image
Save changes

Designing an Effective Splash

Your invite splash is a first impression. Design it to:

Include:

Your server name (large and clear)
A visual that represents your community (game art, community theme)
Your server tagline or value proposition
Colours consistent with your brand

Avoid:

Cluttered designs with too many elements
Text that's too small to read on mobile
Generic stock images
Bright, eye-hurting colours

A/B Testing Your Splash

If you can create multiple versions:

Set splash A for 2 weeks, track join rate
Set splash B for 2 weeks, track join rate
Keep the higher performer

A compelling invite splash can noticeably increase the percentage of people who click "Accept Invite" vs. leaving the page.

Combine a great invite splash with a well-optimised listing on Discords.ai for maximum first impressions at every touchpoint.
