How to Download Someones Discord Profile Picture – Step-by-Step Guide

Downloading someone's Discord profile picture can be a bit tricky since Discord does not provide a direct download option. However, there are several methods you can use to achieve this, and we will guide you through the most effective ones.

Using the Inspect Element Feature on Desktop

This method involves using the developer tools in your web browser to find and download the profile picture.

1. Open Discord in a Browser:

   • Go to Discord and log into your account using a web browser like Google Chrome or Firefox.

2. Access the User's Profile:

   • Right-click on the user whose profile picture you want to download and select "Profile" from the dropdown menu.

3. Open Developer Tools:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + I (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Option + I (Mac) to open the developer tools. Alternatively, you can right-click on the page, select "Inspect" or "Inspect Element," or use the three vertical dots in the top right corner of Chrome, then navigate to "More Tools" > "Developer Tools".

4. Select the Profile Picture:

   • In the developer tools, press Ctrl + Shift + C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + C (Mac) to activate the element selector. Click on the user's profile picture to highlight the relevant code.

5. Find the Image URL:

   • In the code inspector, click on the arrows to expand the tags until you find the <img> tag. Hover over the hyperlink in this tag to see the image URL. Click on this URL to open the image in a new tab.

6. Download the Image:

• In the new tab, you may see a low-resolution version of the image. To get a high-resolution version, modify the URL by changing the numerical value (e.g., from 240 to 2048 or 1024). Right-click the image and select "Save Image As" to download it.

Using the Network Tab in Developer Tools

Another method involves using the Network tab in the developer tools to capture the profile picture.

1. Open Discord in a Browser:

   • Log into your Discord account using a web browser.

2. Open Developer Tools:

   • Right-click on the page and select "Inspect" or use the three vertical dots in the top right corner of Chrome, then navigate to "More Tools" > "Developer Tools".

3. Select the Network Tab:

• In the developer tools, select the "Network" tab from the top menu.

4. Filter for Avatars:

   • In the filter textbox, type "avatar" to filter the network requests for profile pictures.

5. Refresh the Page:

   • Refresh the Discord page. This will reload the network requests, and you will see the profile pictures appear in the Network tab.

6. Download the Image:

• Find the profile picture you want to download, right-click on it, and select "Save Image As" to download it.

Using a Third-Party Tool

There are also third-party tools available that can help you download Discord profile pictures.

1. Enable Developer Mode:

   • Enable Developer mode in your Discord settings. On PC, go to "Settings" > "Advanced Settings." On mobile, the setting is found in different tabs depending on the device.

2. Copy the User ID:

   • Right-click on the user's profile and copy their User ID. On mobile, press down on the account, then press the three dots and select "Copy ID".

3. Use the Tool:

• Go to a tool like Discord Profile Picture Viewer and input the User ID. Solve the captcha and press the "Check User" button. You will see the profile picture and can download it by clicking on it.

Downloading Profile Pictures on Mobile

While the above methods are more suitable for desktop users, mobile users can still capture profile pictures, albeit in lower quality.

1. Open the Discord App:

   • Launch the Discord app on your mobile device.

2. Access the User's Profile:

   • Find and tap the user whose profile picture you want to download.

3. Take a Screenshot:

• Take a screenshot of the profile page. On most Android phones, press Volume Down + Power. On an iPhone, use the Side + Volume Up keys.

4. Crop the Screenshot:
   • Open the screenshot in your phone's gallery or photos app and crop it to isolate the profile picture area.

By following these steps, you can successfully download someone's Discord profile picture, whether you are using a desktop or mobile device.
