What is YouTube Channel Art and Why Are Dimensions So Complex?
YouTube channel art, commonly known as a 'YouTube banner,' is the main visual at the top of your channel page. The official recommended 'youtube banner size' is 2560 x 1440 pixels. YouTube uses this one image to background different layouts, which is why a 'Safe Zone' of 1546 x 423 pixels is essential for mobile compatibility.
