Discord profile display is circular in many contexts; the exact upload cap can vary by client and account state.

Platform image specs are compiled from official sources and source-checked by image cat. Platform rules can change, account types can differ, and acceptance is never guaranteed. If an official page does not state an effective date, effectiveDate is set to unknown and verified remains false.
