Animated PFPs, profile themes, and massive file uploads. We break down every Nitro perk to help you decide if you should upgrade.
Discord Nitro isn't just about supporting the devs anymore. In 2026, it's a full-blown customization suite. But with two tiers (Basic vs Full) and a monthly cost, is it actually worth your cash?
This is the #1 reason people buy Nitro. The ability to use a GIF as your PFP brings your profile to life.
Nitro lets you upload a custom banner image (the header background) and choose a custom color theme for your profile window. It turns your generic grey box into a personalized card.
| Feature | Basic | Nitro |
|---|---|---|
| Custom Emoji | ✅ | ✅ |
| Component Uploads | 50MB | 500MB |
| Video Quality | Standard | 4K 60fps |
| Profile Banners | ✅ | ✅ |
| Animated PFP | ❌ | ✅ |
| Profile Colors | ❌ | ✅ |
If you just want to upload that cool Profile Banner you found on PFPHub, Nitro Basic is enough.
But if you want the full "GIF Avatar + Custom Colors" experience to truly flex in your servers, you need the full Nitro.
