    \"how<\/p>\n

    \u00a0What is the YouTube banner size?\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    YouTube recommends a banner size of 2,560 x 1,440 pixels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The YouTube banner you design will appear differently depending on the platform\u2014it will appear full screen on a TV monitor, but as a slim banner at the top of your channel on both a desktop and a mobile device. That is why it is critical to include your logo or important information within the “safe region” of your banner picture. The safe area is a place within your banner where your content\/image will appear appropriately without being cropped or smushed, regardless of browser or device.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The super safe zone is 1546 X 423 pixels. If you keep your design elements in this resolution, they won\u2019t get cropped off in any device- desktop or mobile.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
