YouTube Channel Banner size at a glance
The full YouTube banner is large but only the centered safe area (1546×423) is guaranteed visible everywhere. Layout discipline matters more than raw image size.
Why 2560×1440 matters
A banner that looks balanced on desktop can lose its title, logo, or CTA on mobile if important content sits too close to the edges.
What happens when the size is wrong
Oversized text, edge-aligned logos, and focal points disappear when the banner is cropped for narrower screens. It feels broken even if dimensions are technically correct.
Best practices
- Keep logos, taglines, and faces inside the center safe area (1546×423).
- Use the outer space for texture, gradients, or supporting imagery.
- PNG is safer for banners with crisp logos or layered shapes.
