3. Accessing the Image in High Resolution

If you’ve chosen the ‘Open Link in New Tab’ option:

  1. The picture will open in a new tab, and you can see the image in its original resolution.

If you’ve opted for the ‘Copy Link Address’ option:

  1. Paste the link into your browser’s address bar.
  2. By default, Discord avatars are in a webp format. If you want to save it as a PNG or JPEG, you can replace .webp at the end of the URL with .png or .jpeg.

4. Save the Image (Optional)

If you wish to save the image:

  1. Right-click on the high-resolution profile picture in the new browser tab.
  2. Choose ‘Save image as…’ and select your desired location on your computer.

Reminder on Respect and Privacy

While Discord allows users to access profile pictures in their native resolution, it’s essential to remember that these avatars are personal. Use them responsibly and respect the rights and wishes of their owners.
