Like most messaging apps, Discord has an option to set your own profile picture and username. Although you can use any profile picture and name as long as it is not taken, you might have come across users with an invisible name and avatar. In this article, we have detailed the steps to set an invisible Discord name and avatar in 2022 and beyond.

When your account page appears, click on the “Edit” button next to your username.
Paste the following characters to the username field, enter your password, and click “Done”. Do keep in mind that this character will show up as blank only in Discord’s desktop app and not the website/ mobile apps. There’s another special character floating around on the web (˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞˞), but that no longer works when we tested at the time of writing this article.
As you can see below, Discord doesn’t render the special character and shows a blank username instead.
Here’s how the username looks in the side activity status panel of Discord servers.
Set Invisible Avatar on Discord (Desktop/ Web)
After changing your Discord name to be invisible, if you are looking for a way to set an invisible profile picture, follow the steps below. The process involves setting a transparent image as your display picture, and we have added a ready-to-use transparent profile picture too. With that said, follow the steps below:
When you’re on your account’s settings page, click “Edit User Profile” to change your Discord avatar.
From the User Profile page, hover the mouse pointer over your avatar preview and click on “Change Avatar”.
You should now upload the transparent image as your Discord profile picture. You can download a copy of the transparent image from Google Drive.
Up next, click “Apply” to set an invisible avatar on Discord.
As you can see in the image below, your profile picture now seamlessly blends into the background, giving it an invisible effect. And you have successfully made yourself invisible on Discord servers, with no name and profile picture.
Use Invisible Discord Avatar (Android, iOS)
Open the Discord app and tap on your profile picture from the bottom navigation bar. Once you’re there, tap on “User Profile” and press the pencil icon in the profile picture preview.
From the pop-up menu, tap “Change Avatar and pick the transparent image (download from Google Drive). Now, press the checkmark icon from the cropping interface to set the image as your Discord profile picture.
Press the Save button at the bottom-right corner of the screen, and you’re all set. You now have an invisible Discord profile picture, as well as name.
