Channel art is 2560×1440. Almost nobody sees the full canvas. TVs, desktops, and phones crop toward the center. Logos in the corners vanish. This preview overlays the common safe rectangle so you can place the wordmark where it survives.
How to use this tool
- Upload your banner image.
- Toggle device crops.
- Move logos into the remaining overlapping safe region.
- Export 2560×1440 and re-check after YouTube compresses.
Safe zone in practice
Keep critical artwork in the center 1546×423 area (the classic “minimum safe” guidance many designers still use). Background texture can fill the rest. Do not put social icons in the far left — mobile will eat them.
Professional notes
- Seasonal banners should still keep the same logo seat so returning subscribers recognize the channel.
- Avoid tiny text; banners are branding, not a newsletter.
