Where it goes. Upload server-icon.png to your server's main folder, next to server.properties, then restart. The file must be exactly 64 by 64 pixels. This tool always makes it that size.

How to use the Minecraft Server Icon Maker

  1. Choose a starting point. Upload an image, or skip that and design with a colour, gradient and a few letters.
  2. Frame it. Drag the preview to move your image. Use Zoom and the Fit option to decide what stays in view.
  3. Add style. Pick pixel size for a blocky look, add text with an outline, or round the corners.
  4. Download and upload. Press Download, then upload server-icon.png to your server's main folder and restart.

What Minecraft expects

The server list icon must be a PNG that is exactly 64 by 64 pixels and named server-icon.png. It lives in the same folder as server.properties. Any other size or name is ignored, which is the most common reason an icon does not show.

Tips for a clear icon

  • The icon is tiny. Use big shapes and one or two colours, and keep text to two or three letters.
  • Chunky pixel sizes match the game's look and hide the blur you get from shrinking a large photo.
  • Transparent corners show the list background through them. Turn on Transparent and add rounded corners for a badge look.
  • Pixel text uses Monocraft, an open-source font.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The image is processed by your browser and never leaves your device.

Why is my icon not showing?

Check the file is named exactly server-icon.png, sits next to server.properties, is 64 by 64 pixels and that you restarted the server. Players may also need to refresh the server list.

Can I use a GIF or a bigger image?

You can upload most image types, including bigger pictures. The tool resizes to 64 by 64 and exports a PNG. Animated GIFs give a still image.

Does it work for Bedrock servers?

Bedrock servers do not use a server-icon.png file. This tool is for Java Edition servers.
