How to Send Pictures on Discord

With the ability to send photos and post images with the click of a button, the Discord app is the perfect place to share the perfect image with your friends and other users.

Before we get into how to send pictures on Discord, we first need to ensure the image we want to upload is within the guidelines Discord’s support team set forth.

Aside from any rules in the Discord servers in which you hope to post, the only requirement to upload an image to Discord is that the file size must be less than 8MB.

If your image file fulfills that one specification, feel free to upload files to other Discord users all you want.

Note: Server settings and channel settings (like NSFW channel option) may restrict your ability to post images. Check with your Discord server admins before posting.

Now that we have the correct file size, let’s look at how to actually send pictures on Discord.

Note: Discord may ask for photo access to access your photos if you have not already given permission. Select Grant Access to allow Discord the ability to post your images from your phone or PC.
