Frequently asked questions

What size is a YouTube banner?

2560 × 1440 pixels, under 6 MB. Only the centre 1546 × 423 is visible on every device — keep your name, face and logo there. The green guide shows it.

My picture is the wrong shape — what can I do?

Fit it inside and fill the empty space with a blurred copy of the picture, a colour or a gradient — or zoom and drag to crop it.

Can I make other covers too?

Yes — X header, Facebook cover, LinkedIn banner and company cover, Twitch, Discord, Spotify, Etsy, Instagram, Story and YouTube thumbnail sizes are built in, or set any custom size.

Is my picture uploaded?

No — the banner is drawn and exported in your browser.

What is the safe area?

The 1546 × 423 px strip in the middle of the banner that shows on every device. Keep your channel name, text and logo inside it — the rest only appears on wider screens and TVs.
