15 Ingenious Ways to Download Discord Banners

Discord is a popular chat platform that allows users to create and join servers, which are communities dedicated to specific topics or interests. Each Discord server has its own unique banner image, which is displayed at the top of the server window. These banners can be customized by the server owner to reflect the theme or personality of the server. However, if you see a Discord server banner that you like and want to use it for your own server, you may be wondering how to download it. Fortunately, there is a simple way to do this, and it only takes a few steps.

First, you will need to find the Discord server that has the banner you want to download. Once you have found the server, click on the server name at the top of the window. This will open the server’s sidebar, which contains information about the server, including its banner image. Right-click on the banner image and select “Save Image As.” This will open a dialog box that allows you to choose where to save the image on your computer. Choose a location and click “Save.” The banner image will be saved to your computer as a PNG file.

Now that you have downloaded the Discord server banner, you can use it for your own server. To do this, open the Discord app and click on the server you want to change the banner for. Then, click on the “Server Settings” tab and scroll down to the “Banner Image” section. Click on the “Upload Image” button and select the banner image that you downloaded. The banner image will be uploaded and displayed at the top of your server window. You can now enjoy the new banner image on your Discord server.

Identify the Discord User

To begin retrieving someone else’s Discord banner, you must first locate their unique user ID. Discord assigns each user a numeric ID that identifies them within the platform. This ID is embedded in their profile URL and can be used to access various information about their account.

There are several methods to identify a Discord user’s ID. One straightforward approach is to hover over their username in a Discord channel or server. A small tooltip will appear, displaying their username, discriminator (a four-digit number after the username), and their unique ID. Note that if the user has disabled their profile visibility, you may not be able to view their ID using this method.

Another way to find a Discord user’s ID is through their profile URL. When viewing a user’s profile, the address bar of your browser will display their unique ID as part of the URL. For example, if a user’s profile URL is discord.com/users/1234567890, then their user ID would be 1234567890.

Method	Steps
Tooltip	Hover over the user’s username in Discord.
Profile URL	Locate the user’s unique ID in the URL of their profile page.

Inspect the User’s Profile

In order to download a user’s banner, you first need to be able to inspect their profile. To do this, follow the steps below:

Go to the user’s profile page.
Right-click on the user’s banner image.
Select “Inspect” from the context menu.

This will open the Developer Tools panel in your browser. In the Developer Tools panel, you will see the HTML code for the user’s profile page. The user’s banner image will be located in the following line of code:

Copy this line of code and paste it into a new browser tab. The image will open in the new tab, and you can then right-click on it and select “Save Image As” to download it.

4. Choose a Location and Save the Image

Once you have selected “Save image as,” a window will appear asking you to choose a location on your computer to save the image. Navigate to the desired folder where you want to store the Discord banner.
In the “File name” field, you can change the name of the image if you wish. By default, it will be the same as the original banner.
Click on the “Save” button to save the image. The Discord banner will be downloaded to the specified location on your computer.
To ensure that the image is saved correctly, check if the file extension is “.png” or “.jpg”. If it is not, change the file extension accordingly to match the image format.

Here’s a table summarizing the steps for choosing a location and saving the image:

Step	Action
1	Navigate to the desired folder on your computer.
2	Change the image name in the “File name” field (optional).
3	Click on the “Save” button.
4	Ensure that the file extension is “.png” or “.jpg”.

Choose a File Destination and Name

Now that you have captured the Discord banner image, it’s time to save it to your computer. Follow these steps to select a file destination and name:

Locate the Capture Location

Right-click on the image and select “Copy Image.” This will store the image in your computer’s clipboard.
Choose a Save Location

Open a file explorer or navigation window and navigate to the desired folder where you want to save the banner image. This could be your desktop, downloads folder, or any other directory.
Paste the Image

Right-click within the selected folder and choose “Paste” from the context menu. The captured Discord banner image will be saved to that location.
File Naming

By default, the image will retain its original filename, which may include specific file extensions. You can rename it to something more appropriate or descriptive by right-clicking on the image and choosing “Rename.” Give the file a clear and concise name that reflects the banner’s content or origin.
File Formats

After modifying the filename, ensure that the image format is appropriate. Common image formats for Discord banners include PNG and JPG. PNG provides lossless compression, preserving the image quality, while JPG offers smaller file sizes with some compression. Consider the size and quality requirements when selecting the file format.

Set the Image Format (Optional)

While setting the image format is not strictly necessary, it can be beneficial for specific applications. By specifying the format, you can optimize the image for its intended use and reduce its file size. Here are some of the most common image formats and their applications:

JPG/JPEG

JPG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a popular raster image format known for its good compression ratio. It is widely used for photographs and other images with complex color variations. However, JPG compression can introduce some artifacts, especially in areas with sharp contrasts or fine details.

PNG

PNG (Portable Network Graphics) is another raster image format that supports lossless compression. This means that no data is lost during compression, resulting in sharp, pixel-perfect images. PNG is a suitable choice for images with transparent backgrounds, such as logos and icons.

GIF

GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a raster image format that supports animation. It is commonly used for creating simple animations, such as those found on websites or social media. However, GIFs have a limited color palette and can result in larger file sizes.

SVG

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a vector image format that can be scaled to any size without losing quality. It is ideal for creating logos, icons, and other graphics that require a sharp, consistent appearance.

To set the image format, select the desired format from the drop-down menu in the “Save As” dialogue box when saving the image.

Format	Applications
JPG/JPEG	Photographs, images with complex color variations
PNG	Images with transparent backgrounds, logos, icons
GIF	Simple animations
SVG	Logos, icons, graphics that require sharp appearance

Click “Save”

Once you’ve opened the image you want to download, click on the “Save” button. This button is usually located in the top-right corner of the window.

1. Select the Image Format

After clicking “Save”, you’ll be prompted to select a file format for the image. Discord banners are typically saved as either PNG or JPG files. PNG files are lossless, meaning they won’t lose any quality when they’re resized or edited. JPG files are lossy, meaning they may lose some quality when they’re resized or edited, but they’re generally smaller in size than PNG files. Choose the file format that’s right for you and click “Save”.

2. Choose a Save Location

Next, you’ll need to choose a location on your computer where you want to save the image. By default, the image will be saved to your Downloads folder, but you can choose any location you want. Once you’ve chosen a location, click “Save”.

3. Set the File Name

Finally, you’ll need to give the file a name. The file name should be something that you’ll be able to easily remember and identify later. Once you’ve chosen a file name, click “Save”.

4. Open the Image

Once the image has been saved to your computer, you can open it in any image editing software program. You can use a program like Photoshop or GIMP to edit the image, or you can simply view it in a program like Windows Photo Viewer or Preview.

5. Crop the Image

If you want to crop the image to a specific size, you can use the crop tool in your image editing software program. To crop the image, simply select the area of the image that you want to keep and then click the “Crop” button.

6. Resize the Image

If you want to resize the image to a specific size, you can use the resize tool in your image editing software program. To resize the image, simply enter the desired width and height in the resize dialog box and then click the “OK” button.

7. Preview and Save the Edited Image

Once you’ve finished editing the image, you can preview the changes in the preview window. If you’re happy with the changes, click the “Save” button to save the edited image to your computer.

Change the File Extension if Necessary

If the downloaded Discord banner does not have the .png file extension, you need to change it. To do this:

1. Right-click on the downloaded banner.
2. Click on Rename.
3. Add .png to the end of the file name.
4. Click on Enter.

https://discord.com/api/v8/guilds/{guild-id}/banner

In the above request, replace {guild-id} with the ID of the server whose banner you wish to download. The response will include a “url” field that contains the banner image’s direct link.

Manually Downloading the Image File

Locate the Discord banner image file on your computer. The file is usually located in the following directory:

%appdata%\Discord\Cache\cdn_banners\

Copy the file to the desired location on your computer.

Using PowerShell

Open PowerShell and run the following command:

Get-Item "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Discord\Cache\cdn_banners\*\*.jpg" | Copy-Item -Destination "C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Desktop\Discord Banners"

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual username and specify the desired destination path. This command will copy all Discord banner images to the specified destination.

Install the “requests” module using

pip install requests

Create a Python script with the following code:

import requests

guild_id = "YOUR_GUILD_ID"
banner_url = f"https://cdn.discordapp.com/guilds/{guild_id}/banner.png?size=1024"

response = requests.get(banner_url)

with open("banner.png", "wb") as f:
    f.write(response.content)

Replace YOUR_GUILD_ID with the ID of the server whose banner you wish to download. This script will download the banner image to a file named “banner.png”.

Using a Greasemonkey Script

Install the Tampermonkey extension for your browser.

Create a new Greasemonkey script with the following code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Discord Banner Downloader
// @namespace   https://example.com/
// @version     1.0
// @description Download Discord server banners.
// @match       https://discord.com/*

function downloadBanner() {
  const banner = document.querySelector(".banner-container img");
  const url = banner.getAttribute("src");

  const a = document.createElement("a");
  a.setAttribute("href", url);
  a.setAttribute("download", "banner.png");
  a.click();
}

downloadBanner();
