Have you ever noticed that someone on Discord has a funny meme or cool art as their profile picture? Even though downloading a profile picture isn’t officially supported, there are some alternative methods to do that.
We would first like to stress that when downloading profile pictures from Discord, it is essential to remember that the reason that Discord does not have a feature to do so is likely because of the threat of abuse, so please use the methods below wisely. For example, impersonating another user can lead to harm, and you will likely be banned from the server if you do so.Â

Save a picture from a Discord profile using your desktop.
The first step in the process of downloading your profile picture is to start any browser and open Discord for the web on your computer. In this guide, you may use any other browser you prefer.
It is possible to download a user’s picture from Discord by logging in to your Discord account on the site and accessing the user’s page.
Using the right-click menu, select “Profile.” This will open a page with information about the user.
On your keyboard, press Ctrl+Shift+C when you see the profile on the screen. If you click on this link, Chrome will open up its inspect element tool, letting you find the link to download the profile picture your user uploaded.
You can find the code inspector at the bottom right-hand corner of your browser’s window by clicking the user’s profile picture when you are in the code inspector.
You can access the code inspector area by clicking the right-arrow icon, which is located beside the following tags. As soon as you click on this button, the tags will expand, and you can find the download link for the picture.
<div

<foreignObject
<div
If you expand the last <div tag, you will see an image tag underneath it. Hover your cursor over the hyperlink in this tag to see what it is all about.
Click the link under “Current Source” in the small image preview box that opens, and you will be taken to the source of the image.
When you select a user’s profile picture, Chrome will open a new tab showing the profile picture. It is the low-resolution version of the image that is shown in this default preview.Â
For those who would like a high-resolution version of the image, simply change 240 in the link in Chrome’s address bar to 2048 or 1024 if you want a high-resolution version. Â
The high-resolution version of your profile picture will appear once you click on it. Alternatively, you can right-click this image, choose “Save Image As,” and then it will be saved to your computer.
The image file will be downloaded and saved to your computer by Chrome.
In most cases, you will not be able to open this file because it is a WEBP file. You can convert WEBP images to other formats if you want to convert them into a popular file format, such as a PNG or JPG.
Using this method, you can save a profile picture on Discord.
