About YouTube images
YouTube images do different jobs depending on where they appear. Thumbnails compete for clicks in suggested feeds, channel banners survive multiple screen sizes, and profile photos stay legible when cropped to tiny circles.
The safest approach is to work from YouTube's recommended pixel dimensions, then keep critical text and branding away from the outer edges to reduce unwanted cropping on mobile, TV, and desktop.
