Your channel banner (channel art) is the first thing visitors see — but designing one usually means wrestling with Photoshop or Canva and guessing at the right dimensions. This banner maker skips all that: pick a template, type your channel name and an optional tagline, choose your text color, and Outlyo lays it out for you on a properly sized 2560 × 1440canvas — keeping the text inside YouTube's 1546 × 423 safe area so nothing gets cropped on any device. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded — and you can download a ready-to-upload banner with one click. Free, instant, no signup.
Frequently asked questions
- What size is a YouTube banner?
- YouTube channel banners are 2560 × 1440 pixels (a 16:9 ratio) — the recommended upload size. This banner maker designs and exports at exactly that resolution, so your channel art stays crisp on everything from phones to large 4K TVs.
- What is the safe area?
- YouTube crops your banner differently on phones, tablets, desktops, and TVs. The safe area — 1546 × 423 pixels, centered — is the only region guaranteed to be visible on every device. This tool automatically keeps your channel name and tagline inside that zone so nothing gets cut off.
- Can I use this commercially?
- Yes — the templates, colors, and fonts here are all safe to use for your own personal channel art, including monetized channels. Banners you create are yours to use. We don't include any third-party stock imagery or licensed assets, so there's nothing extra to clear.
- Is it free / is anything uploaded?
- It's 100% free and 100% private. The entire designer runs in your browser using the HTML canvas — nothing is uploaded to a server, nothing is stored, and your design never leaves your device. There's no account, no watermark, and no limit.
