On Discord, you can view someone’s profile picture by clicking on their profile and clicking on their profile picture.
When you click on their profile picture, their profile will open.
Their profile includes their username, user info, and activity.
If you want to save a profile picture, you’d normally right-click it and save it to your computer.
However, nothing will happen if you right-click a Discord profile picture.
In addition, nothing will happen if you right-click a Discord banner.
So how can you copy or save a Discord profile picture if right-clicking it does not work?
Fortunately, there is a way where you can save the profile picture to your computer.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to steal someone’s Discord profile picture by saving it to your computer in high quality.
How to save a Discord profile picture
To save a Discord profile picture, you need to navigate to the user’s profile and open the developer console.
Then, copy the profile picture’s link, visit the link in a browser, and save it to your computer.
When you visit a Discord profile picture’s link, it’s normally 128 by 128 pixels.
You can change the size of the image.
In the profile picture’s link, you’ll see a “size=128” label.
The “size=128” label means that the image is 128 by 128 pixels.
You can change the number of the label to the size that you want.
Additionally, you can change the file type of the image.
This can be done by changing the “webp” label to “png”.
Once you’ve edited the file type and the size of the profile picture, you can right-click it and save it to your computer.
Here’s how to save a Discord profile picture:
- Navigate to the profile picture and open the developer console
- Copy the profile picture’s link
- Edit the file type and the size of the profile picture
- Save the profile picture
1. Navigate to the profile picture and open the developer console
Firstly, open the desktop version of Discord and log in to your account.
Do not use the mobile version of Discord as you won’t be able to open the developer console there.
Once you’re on Discord, you need to navigate to the profile picture.
To do so, go to the server where the user is located.
Next, find the user on the right sidebar of the server and click on their profile.
Then, click on their profile picture to expand it.
After you’ve clicked on the user’s profile picture, their profile will be expanded.
Now, you’ll see an enlarged version of their profile picture and their banner.
The next step is to open the developer console.
To do so, press “CTRL + SHIFT + I” on your keyboard.
This will open the developer console on Discord.
The developer console allows you to inspect the HTML code of various elements.
You need to use it to inspect the HTML code of the user’s profile picture later on.
Click on the icon at the top left of the console.
Here’s the description of the icon, “Select an element in the page to inspect it”.
2. Copy the profile picture’s link
Once you’ve clicked on the icon at the top left of the console, you’ll be able to inspect elements.
When you hover your cursor over an element, you’ll see its HTML code.
Firstly, hover your cursor over the user’s profile picture.
Then, click on the user’s profile picture to inspect it.
This will show the element’s HTML code on the developer console.
The HTML code of the element will have a gray background.
Now that you’ve found the HTML code of the profile picture, you need to expand it.
Firstly, click on the arrow to expand the division.
Then, you need to expand the code until you see a link.
In most cases, you need to click on the arrows 4 times to reach the link.
Double-click the link on the img tag.
Next, press CTRL + C to copy the link.
The link that you’ve just copied is the profile picture’s link.
3. Edit the file type and the size of the profile picture
Now that you’ve copied the profile picture’s link, you need to visit it in a browser.
Firstly, open a browser like Microsoft Edge or Chrome.
Next, paste the profile picture’s link in the URL field of the browser and search for it.
After you’ve searched for the link, you’ll see the profile picture.
In the link, you’ll see the image’s file type.
To save the profile picture to your computer, you need to make sure that the file type is either “png” or “jpg”.
If the file type in the link is “webp”, you need to change it to “png”.
The next step is to change the size of the profile picture.
When you visit a Discord profile picture’s link, it’s normally 128 by 128 pixels.
However, 128 by 128 pixels is very small.
Hence, you need to increase the size of the image.
In the link, you’ll see a “size=128” label.
To increase the size of the image, change the number of the label to “256”.
The size limit of a Discord profile picture is usually 256 by 256 pixels, so “256” is the highest number you can input.
4. Save the profile picture
After you’ve edited the file type and the size of the profile picture, you can now save it to your computer.
Firstly, right-click the profile picture.
This will open a navigation menu containing multiple options.
The options include “Open image in new tab”, “Save image as”, “Copy image”, and others.
Click on “Save image as” to choose where to save the profile picture to.
After you’ve clicked on “Save image as”, the File Explorer will open.
Firstly, navigate to the folder that you want to save the profile picture in.
Once you’re on the folder, you need to name the file.
An example of a file name is, “discord-profile-picture”.
Lastly, click on “Save” to save the Discord profile picture to your computer.
Now, you’ll be able to set your avatar on Discord as it.
You’ve successfully learned how to save a Discord profile picture!
