YouTube banner sizes, quickly
| Area | Size | Where it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Full upload | 2560 × 1440 | TV screens show all of it |
| Desktop | 2560 × 423 | A wide strip across the middle |
| Safe area | 1546 × 423 | Visible on every device, including phones |
YouTube requires the full 2560×1440 image but crops it differently per device. Anything essential, like your name, logo and schedule, belongs inside the 1546×423 safe area. That is exactly what the dashed guide on the canvas marks, and the guides are never part of the downloaded file.
