Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the YouTube banner size important?
YouTube displays your channel banner differently depending on the device viewers are using. The recommended size is 2560x1440 pixels, but the "safe area" that's visible across all devices is 1024x576 pixels. By focusing on this safe area, you ensure your important content and branding elements are visible regardless of the device being used.
What file format is best for YouTube banners?
YouTube accepts various image formats, but we recommend:
- JPEG: Best for photographs and images with lots of color details
- PNG: Best when your banner includes transparency or text that needs to be crisp
- WebP: Modern format with excellent compression and quality
- AVIF: Newest format with the best compression but limited browser support
Our tool allows you to convert to any of these formats for optimal results.
