Ideal dimensions for your YouTube channel
A crisp 1280×720 px thumbnail improves click-through on your videos, while a 2560×1440 px channel banner adapts correctly across TV, desktop and mobile without cropping out important elements.
Why does my banner look cropped on mobile?
YouTube shows different areas of the banner depending on the device. Using 2560×1440 px and keeping text centered prevents it from being cut off on small screens.
What image format does YouTube use?
It accepts JPG and PNG. JPG is recommended for thumbnails because of its smaller file size, unless you need transparency.
