Discord embed builder

3 min readUpdated Nov 3, 2026

Build an embed with a live preview, then copy the JSON, discord.py or discord.js code, or send it to your own webhook.

Fill in the fields, watch the preview update, then copy the JSON for a webhook or the code for your bot. You can also send it straight to your own webhook: the request goes from your browser to Discord, and the webhook URL is never sent to us or saved.

Message text (outside the embed, optional)

Author name

Color

Title Title link (optional) Description (Markdown works)

Webhook JSON discord.py 2.x (Python 3.12) discord.js v14 Send to my webhook (optional)

Your webhook URL stays in this browser tab: it isn't stored or sent anywhere except to Discord. Anyone who has a webhook URL can post with it, so don't share it.

Embed limits to know #

Title 256 characters, description 4,096, up to 25 fields (name 256, value 1,024), footer 2,048, author name 256.
All text in one embed together can't pass 6,000 characters.
A message can carry up to 10 embeds.
Image and thumbnail URLs must be direct links to an image (ending in .png, .jpg, .gif or .webp works best).

How to make a webhook #

In Discord: Server Settings › Integrations › Webhooks › New Webhook, pick the channel, then Copy Webhook URL. You need the Manage Webhooks permission.
