FiveM: Change the Server Icon in the Server List

Preparation

To set a custom server icon for your FiveM game server, you first need to prepare an image file that is exactly 96x96 pixels and in PNG format (with the .png file extension). We recommend using an image editor such as GIMP, or simply an online tool, to resize your existing image and convert it to PNG format. Once your image meets these requirements, you can upload it and add it to your server configuration.

Installation

Uploading Files

The next step is to upload your finished image to your FiveM game server via FTP. If you’re not familiar with FTP yet, take a look at our FTP Access guide.

After logging in via FTP, navigate to gXXXXXX/fivem/YOUR_FRAMEWORK/ and upload your server icon file there. This example uses the standard CFX template. Upload the file to your own framework folder. Be sure to note the file name.

Activation

To load the icon when the server starts, add it to your server’s server.cfg under the load_server_icon parameter. For example, if your icon is named zaphosting96x96, the entry should look like this:

Code

# Server-Icon laden (96x96 PNG-Datei)
load_server_icon zaphosting96x96.png

Info

Make sure the file name in the command exactly matches the uploaded image, including uppercase and lowercase letters.

Conclusion

If you’ve followed all the steps, your new server icon should appear the next time you restart the server. If you have any questions or need help, our support team is available every day! 🙂
