Drop your channel banner (2560×1440 recommended) and profile picture to see how YouTube will crop them across TV, desktop, tablet, and mobile. The "safe area" boxes show what's guaranteed to be visible on every device.
What size should a YouTube channel banner be?
Upload a 2560×1440 image. YouTube shows the full size on TV, but crops down to 2560×423 on desktop and just 1546×423 on mobile — this tool previews all of those crops at once.
What is the "safe area" for channel art?
The safe area is the central 1546×423 region that stays visible on every device, including phones. Keep your logo and text inside the mobile preview box so nothing important gets cropped.
Are my banner and profile picture uploaded anywhere?
No. Both images are processed locally in your browser on a canvas — they are never uploaded to a server, so you can preview private artwork safely.
Can I download a correctly positioned banner?
Yes. Drag or pan and zoom your subject in the TV preview, then download a centered 2560×1440 PNG so YouTube's auto-center crop lands on the right spot.
