Frequently asked questions.

What should I include in a banner for YouTube?
Create a banner that echoes the theme of your YouTube channel. Feature branding from your channel such as your logo, colors, slogan, or even your headshot. Make a design that is clean and easy to read while still showcasing the personality of your channel.
Should I include a profile picture in my banner?
The choice is yours. Some outstanding YouTube channel art examples are just a logo or slogan. Another option, instead of a profile picture, is to use graphics or illustrations that represent your channel, or even stills from some of your most notable videos.

YouTube recommends making your banner 2560px by 1440px, which is an aspect ratio of 16:9. Your banner will be cropped depending on what device your viewer is using to browse your channel. To make sure your banner crops in the best way possible, keep the important parts of your design within the safe area, which is the center area of 1235px by 338px.
