Why does YouTube need such a large banner if only part of it is usually visible?

The banner is cropped differently across desktop, mobile and TV, so YouTube requires extra canvas beyond what any single device shows, ensuring a "safe area" stays visible everywhere.

Where should I place my logo or important text?

Keep it centered within the safe area — content near the far edges is the first to get cropped out on narrower displays like mobile.

Does this resize video banners too, or only static images?

This tool handles static banner images — YouTube also supports video banners, which have separate requirements.

Does YouTube Banner Resizer upload my files to a server?

No. YouTube Banner Resizer runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

YouTube channel banners display differently across devices — desktop, mobile, TV — and only the exact recommended dimensions guarantee your banner's important content (logo, text) stays within the "safe area" visible on every device rather than getting cropped on some of them. This tool resizes an image to YouTube's ideal channel banner dimensions, keeping your design correctly positioned across desktop, mobile and TV displays.
