Why is the pfp blurry?

There’s no exact cause for this bug; it blurs your profile picture when uploading it through the Discord mobile app, most likely due to heavy compression. Regardless, a blurry Discord pfp is most notable on the iOS/iPad Discord apps. The Android app, although rarely, suffers from the bug too.

How to fix blurry Discord profile picture?

The easiest way of fixing this error is to upload your Discord profile picture using the Desktop app or, if you don’t have access to a PC, using the web browser on your phone. 

Follow these steps if you’re using Discord on your PC using the app or a web browser. 

Step 1: Open Discord and click the User Settings gear icon in the bottom left.

Step 2: Under My Account, click the Edit User Profile button. 

Step 3: Under Avatar, click Change Avatar. Alternatively, you can also click on your current profile picture.

Step 4: Click on Upload Image or Try animated avatar and select the profile image you want. 

Remember that the animated avatar feature is only available for Discord Nitro subscribers. The steps remain identical if you’re using Discord from a web browser on your phone.

Do remember that you’ll need to switch over to the desktop version of Discord in your browser; otherwise, you’ll just be redirected to the Discord app’s Google Play Store or Apple App Store page every time you try to log in to the website.
