What is the best YouTube banner template to use for channel art?

[AnnP111966]

I’m updating my channel design and need a proper YouTube banner template. Can anyone share the recommended dimensions and safe-area guidelines so it displays correctly on all devices?

The recommended 2560 x 1440 size suggested by YouTube, the safe-zone is 1546 x 423.

Choose:

1. Background image is high resolution.
2. Guaranteed brand logo + text (channel name)
3. Consistent brand colors

Ready-made templates of such sites as Canva, Adobe Express, and Fotor are great.

The "best" template is one that complements the brand identity and particular niche of your channel. Thousands of pre-sized templates are available for free on websites like Canva and Adobe Express. For maximum impact, pick a simple design that prominently displays your topic, upload schedule, and channel name.

You have to use a 2560 × 1440 pixels YouTube banner template with the safe area (1546 × 423 px) in the center for text and logos, ensuring key visuals aren’t cropped on any device. Keep designs simple, aligned with your brand, and use high-quality PNG or JPG graphics under 6 MB for best results.
