About YouTube Banner Dimensions

Creating the perfect YouTube banner requires understanding how YouTube displays your channel art across different devices. While YouTube recommends uploading an image of 2560×1440 pixels, the way it's displayed varies by device:

Device Visible Area Aspect Ratio
TV 2560×1440 pixels 16:9
Desktop 2560×423 pixels 6:1 (approx.)
Mobile 1546×423 pixels 3.65:1 (approx.)

Important: The "safe area" is 1546×423 pixels centered in your banner. Any text or important elements should be placed within this area to ensure they're visible across all devices.

This tool helps you visualize how your banner will appear on different devices and makes necessary adjustments to ensure optimal display across all platforms. The preview panels show exactly how your banner will look on each device type, highlighting the safe area where your important content should be placed.

Tips for a Great YouTube Banner

  • Use high-quality images: Start with a high-resolution image to avoid blurriness or pixelation.
  • Keep important elements in the safe area: Ensure logos, text, and key visuals are within the center "safe area" so they're visible on all devices.
  • Consider branding consistency: Use colors, fonts, and visual elements that match your channel's overall branding.
  • Simplify your design: Avoid cluttering your banner with too much text or too many elements.
  • Test on different devices: Use the preview options to check how your banner appears across desktop, TV, and mobile.
  • Include a clear call to action: Let viewers know what your channel is about or what action to take.
