Channel Art Template

Design a 2560×1440 YouTube channel banner with the TV, desktop, and mobile safe zones drawn right on the live preview. Drop in a background, add your channel name and tagline in a chosen font and color, and export a clean PNG with the guides stripped out.

How to use this tool

  1. 01

    Upload your background image

    Use a high-resolution image, ideally 2560×1440 or larger; it stays in your browser.

  2. 02

    Add channel name and tagline

    Keep both inside the mobile safe zone so they're visible on every device.

  3. 03

    Customize fonts and colors

    Pick a font and text color that match your channel branding.

  4. 04

    Download and upload to YouTube

    Studio → Customization → Branding → Banner image; the guides aren't baked in.

Why this matters

A YouTube banner is the single biggest piece of visual real estate on your channel page, but it's deceptively hard to get right: the same 2560×1440 image is cropped three different ways across TV, desktop, and mobile, and most creators only discover their logo or tagline is half cut off after it's already live on a phone. Designing blind in a generic image editor with no safe-zone reference is pure guesswork.

This template renders the full 2560×1440 canvas with the TV, desktop, and mobile safe zones drawn on the preview, so you can place your name and tagline where every device will actually show them, then export a clean PNG with the guides removed. If you want a montage background instead of a single photo, build one first with the Thumbnail Grid Generator and bring it in here.

FAQ

One banner image is shown at three very different crops. TV shows the full 2560×1440; desktop shows a short central strip of about 1546×423; mobile shows even less, roughly 1235×338 in the middle. Anything outside the mobile center is invisible to the largest slice of your audience, so the only reliably-seen real estate is that narrow central band — which is why logos and text have to live there even though the canvas is huge.
