Save someone's Discord profile picture to your desktop
To start the process of downloading a profile picture, launch Google Chrome on your computer and open Discord for web. You can use any other web browser, such as Firefox, but in this guide we will be using Chrome.
Log in to your Discord account on the website and access the user whose image you want to download.

Right-click on the user and select “Profile.” This will open their profile page.
When you see the profile, press Ctrl+Shift+C on your keyboard. This opens Chrome's Asset Inspector, which will allow you to find the download link for your user's profile picture.

Once you see the code inspector at the bottom or right side of your browser, click on the user's profile picture on your screen.
In the code review area, next to the following tags, click the right arrow icon. This will expand these tags so you can find the image download link.

<foreignObject
<div
After you expand the last tag.
In the small image preview box that opens, next to “Current Source,” click the link.
Chrome will open a new tab with the selected user's profile picture. This default preview has the low-resolution version of the image. If you want to download a high-resolution version, then in the link in Chrome's address bar, change the 240 to 2048 or 1024.
You will see a high-quality version of your profile picture. To save it to your computer, right-click on the image and select “Save Image As.”
Chrome will download and save the image file to your computer.
This will be a WEBP file, which will not open in most image viewers. To convert it to a popular file format, such as JPG, refer to the guides available online for converting WEBP to other formats.
And that's how you get someone's profile picture and use it locally on your computer.
Get someone's Discord profile picture on mobile
On a mobile phone, take a screenshot of someone's profile photo to save the photo to your gallery.
To do this, first launch the Discord app on your phone. Then, find and tap on the user whose picture you want to download. You will now be on the user's profile page.
Now that you see the user's profile picture, take a screenshot on Android or iPhone .
On most Android phones, you can take a screenshot by pressing Volume Down+Power. On a modern iPhone, use the Side+Volume Up buttons to take a screenshot.
Once you do this, you'll find your screenshot in the Gallery app on Android and the Photos app on iPhone. The screenshot will contain other unwanted parts of the screen, but you can crop it on your iPhone or Android phone so that it only has the profile picture area.
And that's all you need to do to download a Discord user's profile picture.
