Drop in a picture and fit it to YouTube's 2560 x 1440 banner. Drag to choose what stays, check it against the safe area and the tablet, desktop and TV views, then save a JPEG under 6 MB. It runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
This runs entirely in your browser. The image is never uploaded to a server.
This banner resizer takes a PNG, JPG or WebP from your own computer and fits it to YouTube's 2560 x 1440 channel banner. It cuts the largest 16:9 area out of your picture. Drag the picture, or use the two focus sliders, to choose which part stays.
Lines on the preview mark what each screen shows: the 1546 x 423 safe area that every device shows, the 1855 x 423 strip tablets show, the 2560 x 423 strip desktops show, and the whole image on a TV. Put your logo and text inside the safe area. Switch the lines off to see the plain crop.
The banner is saved as a JPEG, with the quality stepped down from 92% until the file is 6 MB or less. A PNG is offered as well when it also fits. Both files show their pixel size and file size. The picture is processed in your browser and never uploaded.
YouTube asks for 2560 x 1440 pixels, a file of 6 MB or less, and at least 2048 x 1152 pixels. Text and logos should sit inside the 1546 x 423 safe area in the middle, because that is all that shows on every device.
PNG, JPG and WebP, up to 50 MB and 100 megapixels. HEIC, SVG and GIF are not supported, so save the picture as one of the three first.
No. The crop, the preview and the export all happen in your browser, and the picture never leaves your computer.
The tool warns you, then enlarges it to 2560 x 1440. YouTube may still take it, but it can look soft. A larger source gives a sharper banner.
The JPEG is saved at 92% quality first. If that is over 6 MB, the quality steps down and it tries again, up to 11 times. If none of them fits, the tool says so and offers no file. The PNG is only offered when it is 6 MB or less.
It is placed on a white background, because a JPEG has no transparency. The PNG you download has the same white background.
Gold is the safe area every device shows. The dashed white line is what tablets show, the dotted white line is the widest strip desktops show, and the whole picture is what a TV shows. The darker bands are never visible on a phone or a desktop.
No. It is free and needs no sign-in.
