2048 x 1152 canvas
Free YouTube Banner Maker
YouTube channel art is the one banner that has to work at five different sizes at once. This canvas opens at 2048x1152, which YouTube accepts and scales cleanly, and keeps the 1546x423 safe area in view so the part everyone sees on a phone never ends up cropped in half.
- Opens at the exact size, so nothing gets cropped
- PNG, JPG, SVG and PDF, all free
- No watermark on anything you download
