Discord embed descriptions are limited to 2000 characters. The title is limited to 256 characters, field names to 256 characters, and field values to 1024 characters. The total embed character count across all fields must not exceed 6000.

Question 4

What are inline fields?

Inline fields display side by side in up to three columns, depending on the number of consecutive inline fields. Non-inline fields always take the full width of the embed.

Question 5

How do I pick a color for the embed?

The left border color of a Discord embed is set by a hex color code. Use the color picker in this tool to choose your color visually. The value is stored as a decimal integer in the JSON payload (Discord's format).
