How to view avatars and banners

Images and memes · Updated 2026-10-07

Discord only shows avatars as small circles, and banners are hard to see at all. OcelotBOT can post any member's picture at full size in the channel so you can look at it properly, save it or use it as a reference.

See someone's avatar

Use /avatar and choose a member in the user option:

• /avataruser@Big P

OcelotBOT posts their avatar in the largest size Discord has, in the colour of their name. If the member has a different avatar just for your server, that's the one you'll see. Leave user empty to get your own.

To save it, right-click the image and choose Save Image, or open it in your browser.

See someone's banner

/banner works the same way and shows the profile banner of the user you pick, or your own if you leave the option empty.

Use an avatar in an image filter

Any command that edits an image can use an avatar, just mention the user in the image option. For example, to deepfry someone's profile picture:

• /filter deepfryimage@Big P

Look up a user

/user shows details about a member, such as when they created their account and joined your server.

Troubleshooting

• These commands only work in servers, not in direct messages.
• OcelotBOT needs the Embed Links permission in the channel to show the picture.
• Not everyone has a banner. If the user you picked doesn't, OcelotBOT lets you know.

Commands in this guide

• /avatar – Get a user's avatar. Or your own.
• /banner – Get a user's banner. Or your own.
