Avatar decorations, profile effects, nameplates and frames explained

The Discord Shop sells four kinds of profile items, plus bundles that combine them. They sit in different places on your profile, so you can wear one of each at the same time.

Avatar decorations

An animated frame around your profile picture. It is the one people see most, because it shows wherever your avatar does: next to your messages in chat, in the member list and on your profile. Browse avatar decorations.

Profile effects

An animation that plays over your profile card when someone opens your profile, often with an intro and then a loop. It only shows on the profile itself, not in chat. Browse profile effects.

Nameplates

An animated background behind your name in a server's member list. Useful in big servers, where it makes you easy to spot in the list. Browse nameplates.

Profile frames

Artwork around your whole profile card: something peeking over the top edge, a tail or vines along the bottom and sides. Browse profile frames.

Bundles

Several items from one collection, usually an avatar decoration with a profile effect and sometimes a nameplate, for less than they cost one by one in the Discord Shop. Browse bundles.

Wearing them together

Because each kind has its own place, a decoration, an effect, a nameplate and a frame can all be on at once. The try-on shows a combination on a Discord profile before you buy, on your own avatar if you sign in with Discord.
