What is a Discord server icon ping overlay?

A Discord server icon ping overlay is a notification badge added to server icons, mimicking the red circular badge that Discord displays when a server has unread messages.

This creates realistic-looking notification badges perfect for pranks, screenshots, or mockups.

The result looks identical to Discord's real unread notification system.

The giga.tools Discord Server Icon Ping Overlay Creator includes a live Discord sidebar preview that shows your modified icon in a realistic Discord server list environment.

The Discord Server Icon Ping Overlay Creator supports all common image formats including JPG, JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF (static frames).
