YouTube banner size
A YouTube banner is 2560 × 1440 pixels, a 16:9 shape. In 240fps, choose YouTube banner as the frame size and the canvas, the layout and every export use exactly 2560 × 1440, so the image or video is ready to upload without resizing.
Why the exact YouTube banner size matters
YouTube uses 16:9 everywhere, from thumbnails to banners, at different pixel sizes.
Tips
- Thumbnails are seen small: one large device and big text work better than detail.
- Banners are cropped on phones and TVs; keep the important part in the centre.
