Frequently Asked Questions about YouTube Banners
What is the correct size for a YouTube banner?
The recommended YouTube banner size is 2560 x 1440 pixels. However, the most important part is the central 'safe area' of 1235 x 338 pixels, which is the only part guaranteed to be visible on all devices, including mobile.
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 minimum central portion of your banner that is always visible. On a large TV, viewers might see your entire 2560x1440 banner, but on a phone, they will only see the small central part. All your text, logos, and critical information must be inside this safe area.
