Discord uses 512×512 as the source size for user avatars. The image is displayed as a circle, so corners are hidden. Anything smaller looks pixelated on retina displays.
ImageMint resizes locally to exactly 512×512 with center crop. The result is sharp on every device and avoids Discord's mediocre internal upscaling.

FAQ
Can I use animated avatars?
Yes, with Discord Nitro. Use animated GIF or APNG, max 8MB.
Why does my avatar look blurry?
Uploading smaller than 512×512 causes Discord to upscale. Always upload at 512×512 minimum.
Is PNG better than JPEG?
Yes for avatars with sharp edges or transparency. JPEG is fine for photos.
