YouTube Banner Resizer
Crop or fit channel art to a 2560 × 1440 canvas and keep important text, logos, and subjects near a central content-safe guide.
Design for flexible channel-art framing
YouTube recommends a 2560 × 1440 px, 16:9 banner. Minimum upload dimensions are 2048 × 1152 px, and the file should be 6 MB or smaller.
At the minimum canvas size, YouTube identifies a 1235 × 338 px safe area for text and logos. This tool scales that central guide approximately to its 2560 × 1440 export. Keep essential information inside it because device crops can vary.
