Get a member’s full-size avatar in Discord

Before you start

• Use an online bot with the Free Tools & Utilities module enabled in the server. The avatar command has no caller permission requirement in the module registration.
• Choose the target user. You may mention a user or, with a prefix invocation, supply a Discord user ID; without either, the bot uses the caller as the target.
• Know which image you need. This command returns the global user avatar, not the optional server avatar a member may set for one Discord server.

1. Enable Tools & Utilities and choose a test user

   Open your bot’s Modules tab, enable Tools & Utilities for the server and save. If this is an existing bot, use the normal regenerate and start flow, then wait until it is online before testing.

   Pick a user who is comfortable being used in the test. The output is based on Discord’s user-level avatar URL, so a server nickname or a server-specific avatar does not change what this command displays.

2. Run the avatar command with or without a target

   The slash form accepts /avatar user:@Member to select a user. The user option is optional, so /avatar by itself returns your own global avatar. With the default prefix, use !avatar @Member or !avatar; !av and !pfp are aliases.

   For the prefix form, the handler also tries its first argument as a Discord user ID when there is no mention. If it cannot fetch that ID, it falls back to the caller instead of producing a separate server-member lookup.

3. Open the displayed image or a format link

   The reply is an embed titled with the target’s tag. Its image is requested with dynamic format support at size 1024. Open that image in Discord when you only need to view it at the command’s largest fixed output size.

   The embed also has direct 1024px links labelled PNG, JPG and WEBP. If the dynamic avatar URL contains .gif, it additionally shows a GIF link. These are format links for the same global avatar; there is no size selector in the command.

4. Handle a server-avatar difference or a failed lookup

   If the output differs from what you see beside a member’s name in this server, compare it with the user’s global Discord profile avatar. A server profile avatar is not an option in this handler, so use Discord’s member profile directly when that server-only image is what you need.

   When an ID lookup does not resolve, check the ID and try a mention. The handler catches avatar errors and sends its generic failure message, but an unresolvable ID alone normally falls back to the person who ran the command.
