💡 Tip: Profile Frames need an updated app on mobile. Tap the Profile Frame field, choose a frame, tap Apply, then tap Save.

Nitro and Shop Items

Only Nitro members can upload a banner image or animated GIF. Nitro members also choose primary and accent colors for their profile theme.

Decorations, effects and frames come from the in app Shop. Purchases stay in your collection, so you can swap them any time.

⚠️ Heads up: Banner and theme colors are Nitro features. Free accounts can still change the avatar, display name and About Me.

Per Server Profiles

You can also set a different profile for each server. On mobile, open the same avatar menu, tap Edit Profile and look for the Per server Profiles tab.

⚠️ Heads up: Server specific avatar decorations and profile effects can only be changed on desktop or browser.

Tips for a Polished Profile

  • Pick one theme. Match your avatar, banner and colors.
  • Preview often. Check how your profile looks before saving.
  • Keep text short. A clear About Me reads better on small screens.

For official steps, read Discord’s Custom Profiles guide, the Per Server Profiles guide and the Profile Frames FAQ. Want to find communities to show off your profile? Browse servers on discords.ai.
