Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct YouTube channel banner size?

The recommended YouTube channel banner size is 2560x1440 pixels. However, the safe area that is visible on all devices (mobile, desktop, and TV) is only 1546x423 pixels in the center. Keep your logo, text, and key branding elements within this safe area to ensure they are always visible.

Why does my YouTube banner look different on mobile and desktop?

YouTube displays different portions of your banner depending on the device. Mobile shows the smallest area (1546x423px center), tablets show more, and TVs display the full 2560x1440px image. Design your banner at 2560x1440px but keep critical content within the 1546x423px safe zone in the center.

What file format and size should I use for my YouTube banner?

YouTube accepts JPG, PNG, BMP, and non-animated GIF formats for channel banners. The file must be under 6MB. For best quality, upload at 2560x1440px in PNG format for graphics or JPG for photographs. Our tool helps you resize to the exact dimensions while maintaining image quality.
