FAQ
What size is a YouTube channel banner?
2560×1440 pixels (16:9), with a 6 MB file size limit. YouTube crops it differently per device, so this is the one canvas that covers TV, desktop, and mobile.
What is the YouTube banner safe area?
The center 1546×423 pixels is visible on every device. Keep your channel name, logo, and any text inside that zone — the rest only shows on TVs and wide desktop windows.
Why does YouTube reject my banner?
Usually the image is under the 2048×1152 minimum or over the 6 MB limit. Resize to 2560×1440 with this tool and export as JPG if the file is too large.
Do my images get uploaded to a server?
No. The resizer runs entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device.
