Auto-fix for YouTube Banners

Why is YouTube Banner resizing difficult?

YouTube requires a massive 2560 x 1440 px image to display correctly on TV screens. However, on mobile and desktop devices, only the center "Safe Area" (1546 x 423 px) is visible.

  • Fit Mode: Adds a background (blur/color) so your entire image fits inside without cutting anything off. Best if your original image is small or square.
  • Crop Mode: Zooms into your image to fill the 2560x1440 canvas completely. Best if you have a high-res landscape photo and want to focus on the center.

How to resize for YouTube Channel Art?

  1. Upload your banner image.
  2. Select the "Channel Banner" preset.
  3. Choose "Fit" (safe) or "Crop" (immersive).
  4. Process and download. Upload the result to YouTube Studio, and it will align perfectly across TV, Mobile, and Desktop.

For thumbnails, use the 1280x720 preset. We ensure the file size is optimized so it loads fast without losing quality (under the 2MB limit).
