Navigate Video - YOUTUBE HOW TO GUIDES: A YouTube size and dimensions guide to the channel banner

Looking for a size and dimensions guide to your YouTube channel art?

YouTube channel art should be seen as a first impression for viewers as it is the first thing they will see when they click on your channel homepage.

When creating the YouTube channel banner, we suggest that you use the size and dimensions below:

  • 16:9 aspect ratio

  • 2048 x 1152 pixels

  • Be under 6MB in file size

  • In the format of .JPG or .PNG file

It’s important to remember the safe area for all devices is the central 1235 x 338 pixels.
