How to Make a Spoiler (Text or Image) on Discord

Quick Tips

• For text: Type /spoiler followed by your message.
• For images: Attach the image to your message > click the Mark as Spoiler (eye icon) before sending.

Step 1: Open the Discord app on your desktop or the web using your preferred browser.

Step 2: Navigate to the chat or server where you want to post a spoiler message. 

Step 3: Type your message in the text box below and double-click to select it, or use your mouse to highlight it.

You will see a toolbar with basic formatting tools and an eye icon. 

Step 4: Click on the eye icon to mark the message as a spoiler, and hit Enter (or Return) on your keyboard to send the message with a spoiler tag.

Once you send the message, users can view it. However, the spoiler text will be greyed out until the user clicks on it to reveal the content.

How to Mark Image as Spoiler on Discord

Technically, marking an image as a spoiler is similar to marking a text as a spoiler. There is, however, a slight difference between adding an image and marking it as a spoiler. Let’s begin with the desktop steps.

Note: You can add multiple images with spoiler tags and send them at once. 

On Desktop or Web

Step 1: Open the Discord app on your desktop or the web using your preferred browser. 

Step 2: Navigate to the chat, group, or server where you want to post a spoiler image.

Step 3: Click on the + (plus) icon and select Upload a file option.

Step 4: Choose the image file you want to add as a spoiler from the file explorer.

Step 5: Once uploaded, Discord will show you the option to Mark as spoiler (an eye icon) in the image preview. Click on it to hide your image behind a spoiler tag.

Note: You can choose to add a caption to the image.

Step 6: Finally, send the image by hitting your keyboard’s Enter (or Return) key. 

There you go. The image marked as spoiler is blurred and has a spoiler tag, much like text messages. The users can click on the image to unblur and view it.

On Mobile

Step 1: Launch the Discord app and navigate to the chat or server where you want to post spoiler text.

Step 2: Tap the + (plus) icon in the textbox, choose the image you want to share as a spoiler, and tap Back.

Step 3: Once the image is uploaded, tap on it. From the bottom sheet, choose Mark as spoiler.

Step 4: Finally, tap the Send button to share with the users.

Note: You can choose to add a caption to the image.

There you have it. The image will be blurred and marked as a spoiler. To reveal it, the recipient must tap on it. If you don’t want to tap every time to reveal spoiler content, enable always show spoiler content on Discord.

How to Always Show Spoiler Content on Discord

Before we begin with the method, it is essential to note that this method is limited to the Discord desktop app and web. You don’t have a similar option on the Discord mobile app.

Step 1: Open the Discord app on your desktop or the web using your preferred browser.

Step 2: Click the Settings (gear icon) button in the bottom left corner.

Step 3: Under Settings, scroll down to the Text & images section in the side pane and click on it. 

Step 4: In the right pane, scroll down to the Show Spoiler Content section and choose Always.

That’s about it. From now on, you’ll see spoiler messages without clicking on them every time. Refer to the FAQ section below if you have any questions.
