Auto-fit to 2560×1440px for YouTube
The YouTube Channel Banner size is 2560×1440 pixels, an aspect ratio of 16:9. This is the recommended dimension for Channel art on YouTube. The safe area (visible on all devices) is the central 1546×423px. This tool resizes any image to exactly 2560×1440px in your browser — you can zoom, reposition, and choose whether to fill the frame (cropping edges) or fit the whole image (adding whitespace), then download a perfectly-sized PNG.
To resize an image for YouTube: upload your image above, use the zoom and position sliders to frame it inside the 2560×1440px area, choose Fill (to crop and fill the whole frame) or Fit (to keep the entire image with white padding), and download. The result is exactly 2560×1440px — the correct YouTube Channel Banner size — so it uploads to YouTube without any awkward cropping. Everything happens in your browser, so your image is never uploaded to a server.
For the best YouTube Channel Banner: start with a high-resolution image so it stays sharp at 2560×1440px, keep important content (faces, text, logos) in the center safe zone, and export as PNG for crisp edges or JPEG for smaller file size. The safe area (visible on all devices) is the central 1546×423px. Using the exact 16:9 ratio prevents YouTube from auto-cropping your image in unexpected ways, which is the most common reason posts look wrong after uploading.
