The Complete YouTube Channel Art & Banner Blueprint

A professional YouTube banner (often referred to as channel art or header) is the digital storefront of your channel. When a visitor lands on your channel page after watching one of your videos, your banner has less than three seconds to communicate what you do, who your content is for, and why they should subscribe.

1. Universal Banner Dimension Breakdown

YouTube uses a single responsive image file across all viewing devices, cropping it dynamically depending on the user's screen size:

  • Smart TV Canvas (2560 × 1440 px): The full master file uploaded to YouTube. On smart TVs and gaming consoles, the entire 16:9 canvas is visible.
  • Desktop Maximum (2560 × 423 px): A horizontal panoramic slice spanning across ultrawide and standard PC displays.
  • Tablet Display (1855 × 423 px): A slightly narrower horizontal slice shown on iPads and Android tablets.
  • Mobile Safe Area (1546 × 423 px): The dead center zone that is guaranteed to appear completely on every smartphone screen without any cropping. All critical logos, text, slogans, and photos must sit strictly within this zone.

👤 High-Quality Subject Portrait
