YouTube video size
A YouTube video is 1920 × 1080 pixels, a 16:9 shape. In 240fps, choose YouTube video as the frame size and the canvas, the layout and every export use exactly 1920 × 1080, so the image or video is ready to upload without resizing.
Why the exact YouTube video 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.
