YouTube banner dimensions & safe area
YouTube displays channel banners at different crops on TV, desktop, and mobile. The upload requirement is 2560×1440 pixels (minimum 2048×1152, max 6 MB). The critical part is the safe area: a 1546×423 rectangle centered on the banner. Everything important — your channel name, tagline, links, and logo — must fit inside it, because it is the only region guaranteed visible on all devices.
Design tips that actually work
- Keep text short: a channel name plus one line is enough. Banners are glanced at, not read.
- Put your upload schedule in the banner ("New videos every Friday") — it sets expectations and builds a habit.
- Use high-contrast text. A soft dark overlay behind light text keeps it readable over busy images.
- Leave breathing room around the safe area. Decorative background can bleed to the edges, but never text.
- Export JPG for photos and gradients; PNG (premium) if you have sharp text or a logo with transparency.
- Check your banner on a phone — most viewers will first see it on mobile.
