How to Make Your Discord Picture Talk (Requires Discord Nitro)

Ever wondered how to make your Discord profile picture animate when you talk? It's a cool feature that can add a unique touch to your profile. In this guide, we'll walk you through the steps to create a talking profile picture using any editing software and uploading it to Discord.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Preparation:

   • Boot up any editing software you have.
   • Create or find a film clip of you not talking and then you talking in the video.

   For example:

   • Record a short clip where your mouth is stationary, followed by a few seconds of you talking.

2. Editing:

   • Import the footage into your editing software.
   • Place the footage on the timeline with the first frame showing your mouth not moving.
   • Crop and zoom as necessary, ensuring your project settings are set to 4x3 to fit Discord's profile picture circle.

3. Timeline Arrangement:

   • The initial frame should be of your mouth not moving.

   • Follow it with frames where you're talking.

   • To minimize the GIF's size, you might need to speed up or slow down the video.

     Example:

     • Speeding up the video helps capture all mouth movements succinctly.

4. Rendering and Uploading:

   • Render the footage into a short video.
   • Visit Giphy or a similar GIF-making website.
   • Upload your rendered video to the website.

5. GIF Optimization:

   • Once uploaded to Giphy, click on the 'Media' button, then click 'Social' to compress the file to 10 MB or less.
   • Download the optimized GIF to your device.

6. Setting as Discord Avatar:

   • Go to Discord and click on your profile picture to change your avatar.
   • Upload your new animated GIF.
   • Hit 'Save'.

Now, whenever you join a Discord call, your profile picture will animate and "talk" whenever you speak.
