Why a banner gets cut off
The same file is cropped differently per device, so anything outside the central band is decoration rather than message. Put the important part in the middle and judge the result in the preview.
Resize for YouTube Banner
YouTube lays a channel banner out at 2560 × 1440 pixels, but only the middle 1546 × 423 band survives on every phone, tablet and TV. This page exports the full 2560 × 1440 image, so keep the logo, name and any wording inside that safe band and let the outer edges hold background only.

Frequently Asked Questions About Resize for YouTube Banner
What size should a YouTube channel banner be?
Upload at 2560 × 1440 pixels. The safe area that survives every crop is 1546 × 423 in the centre of that frame.
Why does my banner look fine on desktop but wrong on mobile?
Mobile shows only the central band of the 2560 × 1440 image, so text or faces placed toward the edges are cropped away — which is what the safe area is for.
Will my original file be changed?
The result is downloaded as a separate file. Keep your original until you have checked the 2560x1440 channel art.
What should I check before using the result?
Open the 2560x1440 channel art in the application that consumes it and spot-check the parts that matter to you; the original file stays untouched if you need to re-run with different options.
About this workflow
Before downloading the result
Compare the 2560x1440 channel art with the original while both are fresh; destinations differ, and a quick check here saves a re-upload later.
What Is Resize for YouTube Banner?
YouTube compresses and crops uploads if your file is wrong. The Resize for YouTube Banner pre-sizes images to YouTube image requirements so posts look crisp on every device.
Everything runs locally in your browser—files never leave your device. There is no account or watermark, and you can run multiple sessions without a daily quota. Open the page, upload, and download a ready-to-use image in seconds.
Supported formats depend on the page and are shown in its upload control; the standard resizer accepts JPG, PNG, and WEBP. You can lock aspect ratio, pick a preset, or type exact pixel values. Output quality is adjustable so you balance file size against sharpness before saving.
How to Use Resize for YouTube Banner Online
- Upload your image — Drag a supported image file onto the page, or click to browse. The upload control shows the formats accepted by that page, and batch mode accepts multiple files at once.
- Configure output — Apply the recommended preset for YouTube or enter platform-specific pixel dimensions from your style guide.
- Preview and download — The list redraws each row at the output size so you can see the result, and the file saves in the same step. Processing completes on your device; no queue or email link required.

Tips for Best Results with Resize for YouTube Banner
Export at the platform's recommended pixel size rather than relying on the site to scale down—upload-time compression is harder to control than your own quality slider.
When sharing resized images by email or chat, confirm the recipient app does not re-compress attachments. Check the downloaded dimensions and file size before sending, because recipient apps may apply another compression pass.
Bookmark this page for repeat jobs—settings stay on screen between uploads, which speeds up daily workflows for teams that resize images in batches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I use for YouTube?
Each placement—feed post, story, cover, or ad—has its own recommended pixels. This Resize for YouTube Banner includes presets aligned with current YouTube guidelines. Check your analytics after posting; platforms sometimes recompress files, so starting with the correct size reduces quality loss.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes. It is free with no trial period, watermark, or hidden export fee. You can run multiple sessions for personal or commercial projects without signing in; each page shows its batch limit.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Processing happens in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your files stay on your device, which makes it suitable for confidential documents, unreleased products, and personal photos.
Which file formats are supported?
Supported input formats depend on the page and are shown in its upload control. The standard browser resizer accepts JPG, PNG, and WEBP and exports JPG, PNG, or WEBP with adjustable quality.
Will resizing reduce image quality?
Downscaling generally preserves sharpness because pixels are merged intelligently. Upscaling a tiny source will look soft—that is a limitation of any resizer. For best results, start with the largest original you have and scale down from there.
Can I use this resizer on my phone?
Yes. The interface is responsive on iOS and Android browsers. Upload from your camera roll, set dimensions, and save the processed image back to your gallery without installing an app.
