How to Set Up Your FiveM Server Icon (Server Logo)

Overview

Your FiveM server icon is the small image players see next to your server name in the server list. Setting it up is quick, but it must follow FiveMs file rules.

What youll need

• An image you want to use as your server icon

• Access to your server files (File Manager / SFTP)

• Access to edit your server.cfg

Step 1: Create the icon file

FiveM expects a PNG file named exactly:

• server.png

Recommended icon specs

• File type: PNG

• Size: 96x96 pixels (recommended)

• Background: Optional (transparent is fine)

Common issues to avoid

• Wrong filename (example: server (1).png or server.PNG)

• Wrong format (JPG/WebP wont work)

• Huge image size (keep it small and simple)

Step 2: Upload server.png to the correct folder

1. Open your servers main directory (the same folder where server.cfg is located).

2. Upload server.png into that folder.

Important

server.png must be in the root of the server (next to server.cfg), not inside resources.

Step 3: Add the icon line to your server.cfg

Open server.cfg and add this line (or update it if its already there):

• load_server_icon server.png

Step 4: Restart your FiveM server

Restart the server from your panel so the icon reloads.

Step 5: Confirm its working

• Check your server in the FiveM server list.

• If you use a server listing site or a Discord status bot, it may take a few minutes to refresh.

Troubleshooting

The icon doesnt show up

Try these quick checks:

• Confirm the file is named exactly server.png

• Confirm its a PNG file

• Confirm its uploaded in the same folder as server.cfg

• Confirm server.cfg includes: load_server_icon server.png

• Restart the server (not just the resource)

Still not showing?

Send us:

• A screenshot of where server.png is located in your file manager

Well help you get it displaying properly.
