YouTube Channel Banner Resizer — 2048×1152
Resize images to YouTube channel banner size 2048×1152. Channel art that fits every device.
About the YouTube Banner
Get pixel-perfect YouTube channel banner output every time: images are drawn onto a 2048×1152 canvas, so what you upload is what the platform receives. The fit selector decides between center-cropping (cover) and padded fit (contain), with JPEG, PNG or WebP export.
How it works
The tool renders exactly 2048×1152 pixels (16:9), the safe upload size whose center band survives cropping across TV, desktop and mobile. Cover mode fills the full canvas with a center crop; contain pads around your image over the background color you pick.
How to use it
Drop up to 10 images, choose fit mode and pad color, process, and download the master. Keep channel name and tagline inside the central safe area before committing.
Supported formats & limitations
Accepts .jpg, .png and .webp up to 30MB each, 10 per run. The platform crops aggressively on phones — the middle ~1235×338 region is the only guaranteed-visible zone, so design inward from there.
Common use cases
Channel art refreshes, rebrand launches, series-themed banners, and creator collab pages. Batch mode generates banner variants for multiple channels or seasonal rotations.
