Creating a stunning YouTube banner is only half the battle. The real challenge lies in ensuring that your branding, social media handles, and call-to-action (CTA) are visible across all devices. Because YouTube displays channel art differently on TVs, desktops, tablets, and smartphones, your design can easily get cropped in the wrong places. Our YouTube banner size checker helps you visualize these "safe zones" before you upload.
The "Safe Area" is the most critical part of your YouTube banner. It is the central 1546 x 423 pixel area that is guaranteed to be visible on every single device, including the smallest mobile screens. If you place your logo or channel name outside this box, mobile users—who make up over 70% of YouTube traffic—might never see it.
When you check youtube channel art dimensions using our tool, we overlay a green box to show you exactly where this safe zone is. If your text spills out of this box, it's time to head back to your editor or use a social media image resizer to adjust your layout.
YouTube banners are unique because they use a single image (2560 x 1440 px) to cover vastly different aspect ratios:
Using our viewer, you can toggle these different views to see how your background image holds up. If your banner looks great on TV but loses its meaning on mobile, you need a channel header fix.
To make your channel look professional, follow these branding guidelines:
Using this tool is simple. Just drag and drop your image into the preview area. Our system will automatically detect the dimensions and tell you if it meets YouTube's minimum requirements. Once uploaded, use the visibility toggles to see how the image is cropped on different devices. This safe zone viewer is the final step every creator should take before hitting the "Publish" button on their channel customization page.
The absolute minimum dimensions for a YouTube banner upload are 2048 x 1152 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:9. However, for the best results across all devices, 2560 x 1440 pixels is highly recommended.
This tool is a "checker" and "viewer" designed to help you visualize safe zones. It does not modify your file. If you need to resize or crop your image, we recommend using our dedicated Image Cropper or Resizer tools.
Blurriness usually happens if you upload an image smaller than the recommended 2560x1440 pixels, causing YouTube to stretch it. It can also happen if your file compression is too high. Always use high-quality PNG or JPG files.
