Discord Server Boosts are one of the easiest ways to upgrade your community experience. By using your Server Boosts every month, you and your members can work together to unlock powerful perks, like better audio quality, more emoji slots, custom branding, and higher upload limits.

If you’ve ever wondered how Server Boosts actually work, what each level unlocks, or how your community can benefit, this guide breaks it all down in a quick, simple format.

What Are Discord Server Boosts?

Server Boosts are monthly upgrades that enhance a server’s features. Anyone in the server can contribute a boost, and the total number of boosts determines the server’s level. Each level unlocks a new batch of perks, more customization, better performance, and community-wide benefits.

Boosts renew monthly, and you keep the perks as long as the required number of boosts stays active.
