Discord Open Graph Guide
How Discord Uses Open Graph Tags
Discord is a community-focused chat platform that uses Open Graph tags to create rich link previews (embeds) when users share URLs in servers, direct messages, and channels. Discord follows the standard Open Graph protocol with some platform-specific enhancements.
Where Discord Shows Open Graph Previews
- Server Channels - Link previews in text channels
- Direct Messages - Rich embeds in private conversations
- Group DMs - Preview cards in group chats
- Threads - Link previews in message threads
- Forum Channels - Embeds in forum posts
Discord Image Dimensions & Requirements
- Optimal size: 1200×630px (1.91:1 aspect ratio)
- Minimum size: 300×300px
- Maximum file size: 10MB (aim for under 1MB)
- Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP
Discord Theme Color Feature
Discord allows you to customize the embed border color using the theme-color meta tag:
<!-- Discord Theme Color -->
<meta name="theme-color" content="#5865F2" />This sets the accent color on the left border of Discord embeds, helping your links stand out and match your brand.

Discord aggressively caches Open Graph data:
- Cache typically lasts 24-48 hours
- No official Discord cache-clearing tool exists
- Use query parameters (e.g., ?v=2) to bypass cache
- Test with different URLs to verify tags are correct
Discord Community Tips

Discord Open Graph FAQ
What image size should I use for Discord embeds?
Discord recommends 1200×630px (1.91:1 aspect ratio) for optimal display. Minimum size is 300×300px, maximum file size is 10MB. Discord handles various aspect ratios, but 1.91:1 provides the best visual consistency.
How do I customize the color of Discord embeds?
Use the theme-color meta tag: <meta name="theme-color" content="#YOUR_COLOR" />. This sets the left border color of Discord embeds to match your brand. Use hex color codes like #5865F2 (Discord's brand color).
How long does Discord cache Open Graph data?
Discord typically caches Open Graph data for 24-48 hours. There's no official cache-clearing tool, so you may need to wait or use query parameters (e.g., ?v=2) to create a "new" URL that bypasses cache.
What are the required Open Graph tags for Discord?
Discord requires standard OG tags: og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url, and og:type. Optionally include theme-color for custom embed border colors.
Why does my Discord embed look different from other platforms?
Discord uses its own dark-themed embed style with a colored left border (from theme-color). Images appear below the text content. Discord also aggressively caches, so updates may not appear immediately.
