How to Resize Your YouTube Banner for All Devices

Creating an eye-catching YouTube channel banner (also known as YouTube Channel Art) is one of the most vital steps in building a memorable brand presence. However, optimizing your artwork across diverse screens—ranging from 4K Smart TVs and widescreen desktop monitors to compact mobile displays—can be challenging. Our free online YouTube Banner Resizer eliminates the frustration of cropped titles and cut-off logos, automatically cropping and formatting your design to exact, pixel-perfect dimensions.

1546

Understanding the Mobile Safe Zone (1546×423 px)

The central 1546×423 pixel area is known as the "Safe Zone." YouTube dynamically crops banners depending on the viewer's device screen. Because over 70% of YouTube audience watch videos on smartphones, placing your channel title, main branding logos, social links, and call-to-action buttons squarely inside this safe zone ensures your critical text remains 100% visible on every device without truncation.

2560

Maximum TV Display Resolution (2560×1440 px)

YouTube requires an optimal canvas size of 2560×1440 pixels with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a maximum file size under 6MB. When viewers open your channel page on a 4K Smart TV, the full 2560×1440 background image displays in high definition. Using our resizer guarantees that your high-resolution background artwork fills large television screens smoothly while keeping core elements centered.
