The recommended YouTube banner size is 2560 x 1440 pixels, saved as a JPG or PNG under 6MB. YouTube accepts a minimum of 2048 x 1152 pixels, but the larger file stays sharp on TV screens. Every channel art template on PosterMyWall is already set to 2560 x 1440.

The YouTube channel art safe area is the centered 1546 x 423 pixel strip that shows on every device. Keep your channel name, logo, and tagline inside it, and treat the space around it as background. PosterMyWall templates place the key text inside that strip for you.

Your banner looks cropped on mobile because YouTube shows only the middle slice of your 2560 x 1440 image on small screens. Text near the top, bottom, or outer edges disappears. Move everything you need people to read into the centered 1546 x 423 safe area and it will show up everywhere.

YouTube channel art and a YouTube banner are two names for the same image, the wide graphic across the top of your channel page. Some people call it a channel header or cover photo instead. All of them use the same 2560 x 1440 pixel size and the same safe area.

To add your banner, open YouTube Studio, go to Customization, then Branding, and upload your image under Banner image. YouTube shows a preview across TV, desktop, and mobile before you publish. Download your finished design from PosterMyWall as a JPG or PNG and upload it there.
