Discord allows Nitro subscribers to upload a custom banner image on their profile. Initially, this feature was only available in the Discord desktop application, but it was extended to the mobile app, as well.

Here’s how to upload a custom profile banner in the Discord mobile app.

Step 1: Tap your profile picture in the bottom-right corner of the screen.

Step 5: Once you’ve selected an image, Discord will highlight a portion to use as your profile banner. You can use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to rotate the image. You can also tap and hold on the screen to drag the image around, and/or use the cropping tool to highlight a different portion of the image.
