Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Cropping and resizing happen entirely in your browser using the Canvas API. Your photo never leaves your device.

What is Discord's profile picture size?

Discord displays profile pictures at 128x128 pixels, which is what this tool exports. You can upload a larger image to Discord directly and it will downscale it, but exporting a clean 128x128 square here gives you control over the crop before that happens.

Why is the guide a circle if the download is square?

Discord stores and displays avatars as a circle, but the file you upload is a square. The circular guide shows what will stay visible after Discord applies its circular mask, so corners of the square may get trimmed.

What file format does this export?

A PNG file. Discord also accepts JPEG and GIF (for animated avatars with Nitro), so a static PNG works for a standard profile picture.

Does this tool fix lighting or background?

No. It only crops and resizes to the correct square dimensions. Start from a photo that already looks the way you want, since this tool does not edit color, brightness, or background.

Can I use this for a Discord server icon instead of a profile picture?

Yes. Server icons use the same square-cropped-to-circle display, so a 128x128px export works for either one.

Summary

Discord PFP Resizer crops any uploaded photo into a square and exports it at 128x128 pixels, the size Discord displays profile pictures at across desktop, web, and mobile. Drag to reposition and use the zoom slider to fit the important part of the photo inside the circular guide, since Discord shows every avatar as a circle even though the underlying file is square. Discord accepts larger source images and downscales them itself, but exporting a clean 128x128 square here avoids uneven compression and lets you control exactly what gets cropped. The crop, resize, and export all happen locally in the browser canvas, so the photo never leaves your device before you click download.
