Struggling with YouTube banner display — what size works best?

  • Struggling with YouTube banner display — what size works best?

    I’ve uploaded a banner to my YouTube channel, but parts of it keep getting cut off depending on the device. Can someone explain the correct dimensions and how to design it properly?

    I had the same issue until I figured out that the proper youtube banner size is 2560×1440 px. But the key detail is the central 1546×423 px “safe area.” That’s the only part that’s visible across all devices. I redesigned my banner with that in mind, and now it looks clean on mobile, desktop, and even smart TVs.
