What is Discord Server Boosting?
Discord Server Boosting is a way for users to upgrade a server and unlock exclusive perks. Boosting enhances the server experience by increasing audio quality, allowing more emojis, providing animated banners, and much more. Unlike Discord Nitro, which improves your personal account, boosting helps the entire server.
Boosting isn’t free—you either buy boosts separately or use the two free boosts that come with a Nitro subscription. The more boosts a server has, the higher its level and the better the features.
What Do You Get from Boosting?
Discord servers have three boost levels, each offering increasing perks. The number of boosts determines the server’s level.
- Level 1 Perks ( 2 Server Boosts)
- Level 2 Perks (7 Server Boosts)
- Level 3 Perks (14 Server Boosts)
| Perks | Level 1 (2 Boosts) | Level 2 (7 Boosts) | Level 3 (14 Boosts) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Emoji Slots | 100 | 150 | 250 |
| Sticker Slots | 15 | 30 | 60 |
| Soundboard Slots | 24 | 36 | 60 |
| Stream Quality | 720p & 60FPS | 1080p & 60FPS | 1080p & 60FPS |
| Audio Quality | 128kbps | 256kbps | 384kbps |
| Upload Size Limit | 10MB | 50MB | 100MB |

How to Boost a Discord Server
Boosting a server is super easy and you can boost any server. You don’t need to have any other additional permission to do so. However, you can only boost the server that you are part of. Here’s how you can do it:
- Open Discord and go to the server you want to boost.
- Click on the server name (top-left corner) and select Server Boost.
- Click Boost This Server.
- If you have unused boosts, select them. Otherwise, you can purchase a boost.
- Follow the prompts, confirm, and your boost is applied!
Want to switch your boost to another server? You can! But there’s a 7-day cooldown period before you can transfer it. To transfer your boost from one server to another, follow the steps below:
- Go to User Settings > Server Boosts.
- Find the server with the boost and click Transfer Boost.
- Choose the new server and confirm.

Other Info You Need to Know About Server Boosting
To know who boosted the server and how many boosts a server has, you need to be an admin or you need to manage the server. Other users can only check the server boost level.
When you boost any server, you get a Boosting Badge on your profile. This badge evolves over time as you keep boosting.
But if you cancel your boost or your Nitro subscription expires, you lose your streak. You have 72 hours to reapply your boost before the streak resets.
