Master this powerful YouTube Channel Art creator in minutes
The video-sharing platform YouTube is an excellent way for businesses and individuals to grow their following and share content with the world. If you’re using a YouTube channel to upload and share video content, you can make your channel look professional -- and uniquely you -- by creating and adding channel art. Adobe Spark’s YouTube channel art maker brands your channel and entices users to watch your video and become subscribers.
How to make YouTube channel art
-
Consider how your channel looks on desktop and mobile
When creating a YouTube banner, make sure that you create something that will look good on a wide variety of devices that viewers use: smartphones, tablets, PCs and more. YouTube recommends that the dimensions of channel art be 2560x1440 pixels for the best results on all devices.
-
Add some personality
Incorporate your logo into your YouTube banner to help distinguish your brand, but also consider adding a photo related to your industry or content, or creating an illustration that reveals a little bit about what you do. A photo can help give a human face to your page and also helps make your channel immediately recognizable to a visitor.
-
Watch out for your icon and social buttons
Keep any important icons, logos, or names near the center of the banner. Otherwise, your YouTube user icon or your social sharing buttons that YouTube inserts over the sides of your channel art could ultimately end up obscuring part of your banner. Forgetting this could hinder branding and marketing efforts.
-
Consider adding a photo
If you star in your YouTube videos, consider adding a photo of yourself into your channel art. While not necessary, a photo can help make your page more personable and approachable, giving a human face to your page. It also helps make your channel immediately recognizable to a visitor.
-
Keep your colors consistent
When designing your YouTube banner, use the same colors you use in your branding materials. That will help keep your brand consistent across all channels.
