The full picture is 2560 × 1440 and shows on TVs. Desktop shows the middle 2560 × 423, and phones only the middle 1546 × 423: keep your name and tagline inside that bright box. Drag the photo to move it.

  4. Download the 2560 × 1440 banner (under 6 MB) and the 800 × 800 profile picture
  5. In YouTube Studio: Customisation → Branding → Banner image

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about the youtube banner maker tool.

Why do the guides not appear in the download?

They are only there to help you place things. The file is the clean banner.

Can I use a photo?

Yes: tap Photo, drag it to position, zoom and darken it so the text reads.

Yes, no upload, no sign-up.
