Create a YouTube banner with the right safe area

A YouTube channel banner should be uploaded at 2560x1440 pixels. Keep important text, logos, and faces inside the centered 1546x423 safe area so the banner still works on mobile, desktop, tablet, and TV crops.

Frequently Asked Questions about YouTube Banners

What is the correct size for a YouTube banner?

The recommended YouTube banner upload size is 2560 x 1440 pixels. Put important text, logos, and faces inside the centered 1546 x 423 pixel safe area because different devices crop the outer parts of the banner.

How do I make a banner for my YouTube channel?

You can use our online YouTube Banner Maker. Simply upload your image, position it to look best within the safe area guides, and download the perfectly sized banner. It's the easiest way to create channel art that isn't cropped awkwardly.

What is the YouTube banner safe area?

The safe area is the central portion of the banner that remains visible across device crops. On TV, viewers may see the full 2560x1440 image. On phones and desktop layouts, YouTube crops to a horizontal slice, so critical content should stay inside the safe area.
