Designing a YouTube Banner That Works on Every Screen
A banner is seen on phones, desktops, and TVs, so the design must survive very different crops.
What is the YouTube Banner Maker?
Enter your channel name and tagline, pick a style, and build a 2560 x 1440 banner in your browser, keeping key text inside the central safe area. The size and safe-area figures are fixed YouTube banner dimensions. Design and download need a browser.
How to use it
- Enter channel name and tagline
- Pick a banner style
- Download the banner and upload it to your channel
Worked example
Builds a 2560 x 1440 px banner for Bright Finds with the tagline kept inside the safe area.
Where should the channel name go?
In the central safe area, where it stays visible on every device size.
Frequently asked questions
Why is text kept in the middle?
On phones and TVs only the central safe area is always visible, so key text belongs there.
What file size is best?
Export at full 2560 x 1440 so the banner stays sharp on large screens.
