Branding Your Server


A custom logo (server icon) is essential for professional branding. This small image appears next to your project name in the FiveM server browser and is the first visual element players associate with your community.

1. Image Requirements

FiveM has strict requirements for the server icon to ensure it displays correctly across all resolutions:
  • Format: Must be a .png file.
  • Dimensions: Exactly 96x96 pixels.
  • Transparency: Alpha channels are supported for rounded or custom-shaped designs.

2. Upload and Integration

  1. Log in to your FREAKHOSTING Files tab.
  2. Upload your image to the root directory (where server.cfg is located).
  3. Name the file something simple, such as icon.png.
  4. Open your server.cfg and locate or add the following line:
    load_server_icon icon.png
    

Icon Propagation

After restarting your server, the icon may take several minutes to appear on the global server list. If you do not see it immediately, try searching specifically for your server name or use the “Direct Connect” feature to force a metadata refresh.
