YouTube Banner Resizer
Resize
Full upload size. TV displays all of it.
Saves your edited image at its current dimensions, keeping the original file format. The canvas shows exactly what downloads.
Your images are processed locally in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
The YouTube channel art system is the strangest in social media: you upload 2560×1440, but desktop viewers only see a 2560×423 strip, TV viewers see everything, and phones see something between. This tool gives you the exact canvas. Design your logo and text inside the central 1546×423 zone.
How to use the youtube banner resizer
- Upload your banner image.
- Pick the full 2560×1440 banner preset for upload (the desktop-safe preset is for checking your strip).
- Keep all important content within the central 1546×423 safe area.
- Download and upload to your channel.
Frequently asked questions
What is the YouTube banner size?
2560×1440 pixels total. The universally safe content zone is 1546×423 centered. It is the only region visible on every device.
Why is so much of my banner hidden?
By design: the same file serves desktop (a thin strip), mobile (a taller strip), and TV (the whole image). Content outside the central zone is decoration that most viewers never see.
Can I use a smaller image and let YouTube scale it?
No. YouTube enforces the 2560px minimum width at upload. Anything smaller is rejected, not upscaled.
