Skip the blank server
Setting up categories, permissions and role hierarchy by hand takes an evening. A template takes a command.

Aesthetic Discord server templates
An aesthetic server is an ordinary server whose names have been written rather than typed. These arrive with the symbols, separators and spacing already in the channel and category names, which is the half of the look a template can carry and the half that takes longest to do by hand across forty channels.
What varies between them is the theme, not the structure. Pastel, celestial, monochrome white, cottagecore and café layouts are all here, and underneath most of them is a plain community server: an entry category, a couple of talking channels, a media channel. Pick the one whose names you want and treat the rest as a starting point.
What these layouts carry
- Decorated channel and category names, with the symbols and separators already placed
- Role colors and their hierarchy order, which is what decides the color a name shows in chat
- A short channel list, since a theme reads as one only while every channel is named to it
Why start from a template
A Discord server template is a complete layout someone has already built and published: channels, categories, roles and permissions. Loading one takes a single command and saves an evening of setup.
Several sites offer these and they are not the same product. Galleries, generators and AI builders compared.
Copy a proven layout
Templates with thousands of loads have run in real communities rather than been sketched for a gallery. Read the permissions before you announce anything: a template carries whatever its author set.
Built for a purpose
Browse by category: gaming, school, support, roleplay, development, clan. Each layout assumes a different kind of server.
Publish your own
If your structure works, share it. Make a template in your server settings, submit the link here, and other admins can load it with the upvotes staying on your entry.
Load onto an existing server
You do not need an empty server. Loading replaces the current structure, so back up first if you have something worth keeping.
No bots required
A template only defines channels and roles, so the layout arrives working with no bot installed. The ones a description mentions are yours to invite afterwards.
Loading a template
Templates carry structure only, so nothing personal from the original server comes with them. Back up first: loading replaces the channels and roles you have now.
- 01Find a template here on the site or with /template list in Discord.
- 02Run /backup create on your server first, so the change can be undone.
- 03Run /template load with the code. The layout is applied to your server.

Template questions
Our Discord server is the fastest way to get an answer from a human.
Join our DiscordDo the server icon and the custom emojis come with it?
No. A Discord template carries channels, roles and permissions, so the icon, the banner, custom emojis and stickers are not part of one. The channel names and the role colors are, and those are most of what makes a layout look the way it does.
Will the decorated names break on mobile or for a screen reader?
They are ordinary unicode and render on every Discord client. What they cost is searching: a channel whose name is mostly symbols is hard to reach from the jump bar and tedious to hear read out, so it is worth leaving the plain word in the name and putting the decoration around it.
Are templates really free?
Yes, all of them, on the free plan. Templates are contributed by the community and there is no paid tier for loading them.
Will loading a template delete my server?
It replaces the channels and roles with the ones in the template. Run /backup create first and you can undo it.
Do templates include messages or members?
No. A template only carries structure. Nothing personal from the original server is published with it.
How do I publish my own?
Create a template in your server’s own settings, under Server Template, then paste the link into the submit form here. You choose the name and description in Discord, and the category on the form.
Submit a templateWhat is the difference between a template and a backup?
A backup is private to your account and can include messages and member data. A template is public, structure only, and anyone can load it.
Why are there fewer templates here than on other galleries?
Because every submission is checked before it appears. A listing has to name and describe the server it actually offers, and anything with no place in a public gallery is refused, so a template called "test" with an empty description never reaches the listing. Galleries that publish whatever gets submitted are longer than this one, and most of what makes them longer is not worth loading.
Built a server worth copying?
Publish your server's template from the dashboard. Other admins can load it in one command, and you keep the upvotes.
