Building
Designing messages
Embeds, colors, branding and the markdown Discord actually supports.
The Design workspace pairs an editor with a pixel-accurate Discord preview.
Markdown that works in Discord
Mentions use ID syntax, not plain text:
Limits worth knowing: 6000 characters across an embed, 256 for the title, 4096 for the description, 25 fields, 10 embeds per message.
Theme presets set accent and embed colors in one click.
Fields can be dragged to reorder and toggled inline.
Author, footer, thumbnail and image accept plain URLs.
The preview renders real Discord markdown, so you can check formatting before shipping.
