Why Your YouTube Banner Needs to be 2560 x 1440
YouTube's recommended size for channel art is 2560 pixels wide by 1440 pixels tall. While this is the total canvas size, it's crucial to understand the *safe area* to prevent text and logos from being cut off on different devices.
- Maximum Width (for TV): 2560 x 1440 px
- Desktop Max: 2560 x 423 px (The content you see on a standard desktop screen is the full width, but only the central part of the height).
- Tablet: 1855 x 423 px
- Minimum & "Safe" Area (Desktop & Mobile): 1546 x 423 px. This central area is where you MUST place your primary text and logos to ensure they display correctly on all devices.
