Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Discord embeds, webhooks, and the Discord Embed Builder.
What is a Discord embed?
A Discord embed is a rich message format that allows you to display titles, descriptions, images, thumbnails, fields, footers, timestamps, and custom colors. Embeds are commonly used by bots and webhooks.
How do I create a Discord embed?
Use the form above to customize your embed's content, color, images, footer, and other properties. The tool automatically generates the corresponding Discord embed JSON and live preview.
Can I send embeds directly to a Discord webhook?
Yes. Enter a valid Discord webhook URL and use the built-in send feature to test your embed directly in Discord.
What is the maximum length of a Discord embed?
Discord limits embed content. Titles can be up to 256 characters, descriptions up to 4,096 characters, and the total embed content cannot exceed 6,000 characters.
What is the difference between a thumbnail and an image?
A thumbnail appears in the top-right corner of the embed, while an image appears below the embed content and spans a much larger area.
How do Discord embed colors work?
Embed colors appear as the colored border on the left side of the embed. Discord stores colors as decimal values internally, but this tool allows you to select colors visually.
Can I use GIFs in embeds?
Yes. Discord supports GIF images in many embed contexts. Animated images can be used for thumbnails, author icons, footer icons, and embed images if Discord supports the source URL.
Can I copy the generated JSON?
Yes. The generated JSON can be copied and used in Discord bots, webhooks, APIs, automation tools, and custom applications that support Discord embeds.
Why doesn't my embed image appear?
The image URL must be publicly accessible and use HTTPS. Images hosted on private networks, blocked domains, or invalid URLs may not display inside Discord embeds.
Is DiscordTools.net affiliated with Discord?
No. DiscordTools.net is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Discord Inc.
