YouTube displays banners differently on mobile phones, tablets, desktops, and TVs. Safe zones are the areas visible on each device type:
The correct YouTube banner size is 2560 x 1440 pixels. This is YouTube's required upload size. The most important area is the mobile safe zone of 1546 x 423 pixels in the center, where you should place all critical text, logos, and branding.
YouTube crops banners differently for each device size. On mobile, only the center 1546x423 pixel area is visible. On desktop, you see 2560x423 pixels. Keep your channel name, logo, and important text within the center safe zone to ensure it's visible to all viewers.
YouTube accepts JPG, PNG, and GIF (non-animated) files up to 6 MB. For most banners, JPG at high quality provides the best balance between file size and image quality. Our tool outputs optimized JPG files ready for upload.
