# CARTIQO Tools

> Discord role icons, profile badges, icon packs and covers, designed at the size Discord actually renders them.

A free browser-based design tool for Discord communities. Make role icons, faked profile badges, icon packs and channel or profile banners, and export each one at the exact pixel size and file-size cap the platform asks for. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed to design or export.

Live at https://tools.cartiqo.app - free, no account required to design or export.

## What it makes

- **[Design a Discord role icon](https://tools.cartiqo.app/role-icons.md)** - Make a 64x64 role icon that stays legible at the ~20px Discord actually renders it at, and export it under the 256KB cap.
- **[Fake a Discord profile badge](https://tools.cartiqo.app/profile-badges.md)** - Discord has no custom profile badges, so this cuts a wide plate into square custom emoji you paste into your About me.
- **[Build a matching Discord icon pack](https://tools.cartiqo.app/icon-packs.md)** - Pick a set of glyphs and they all inherit one style, exported as a zip of 64px PNGs plus a contact sheet.
- **[Make a banner or social cover](https://tools.cartiqo.app/covers.md)** - Banners and social images at the exact pixels each platform asks for, from a 680x240 profile banner to 2560x1440 channel art.
- **[Share and install community designs](https://tools.cartiqo.app/marketplace.md)** - A public marketplace of role icons, badges, packs, palettes and covers that install into your own editor and stay editable.

## Why it exists

Discord renders a role icon at roughly **20 pixels**
beside a username, caps the upload at **256KB**, and
requires **boost level 2** before role icons work
at all. A server gets **50 custom emoji slots** at
base tier. A general design tool knows none of that, so it will happily let you
make something that looks good in the upload dialog and falls apart in the
member list. This tool is built around those constraints.

## What is in it

- **5013 icons** across 14 categories
- **22 background shapes**
- **15 preset styles**, 12 preset hues, 10 curated palettes
- **16 cover sizes** across six platforms, 8 gradient templates, 6 patterns
- A public marketplace of community designs that install into your own editor

## Privacy

The editor runs entirely in the browser tab. Designing, previewing and
exporting never send artwork anywhere. Signing in with Discord is optional and
only enables publishing to the marketplace.
