A YouTube channel banner (also called channel art) is the large image that appears at the top of a YouTube channel page. It's one of the first things visitors see and helps establish your channel's brand identity and visual theme. The banner spans the entire width of the channel page and adapts to different screen sizes.
YouTube recommends uploading banners at 2560 x 1440 pixels. This is the full size visible on TV displays. On desktop, viewers see a 2560 x 423 pixel horizontal strip. On mobile, the visible "safe area" is 1546 x 423 pixels in the center. Always keep important text and logos within this safe zone.
Some YouTube channels, especially newer ones, may not have uploaded a custom banner. In this case, YouTube displays a default gradient background. Our tool can only download custom banners that have been uploaded by the channel owner. If a channel uses the default YouTube banner, there's no custom image to download.
Downloading banners for personal use, research, or educational purposes is generally acceptable. However, you should not use downloaded banners for commercial purposes without permission, claim them as your own work, or use them in ways that violate copyright laws. Always give proper attribution when appropriate.
No, this tool only works with public YouTube channels. Private channels require authentication to access, and their banners are not publicly available. You can only download banners from channels that are publicly accessible on YouTube.
YouTube channel banners are typically provided in JPG format. The files are optimized for web display while maintaining high image quality. The maximum available resolution depends on what the channel owner originally uploaded.
Simply paste any YouTube video URL and our tool will automatically detect the channel associated with that video and fetch its banner. This is useful when you know a video but don't have the direct channel URL handy.
A good YouTube banner should clearly communicate your channel's theme or niche, use high-quality images and graphics, keep important elements in the safe zone (center), match your overall brand colors and style, include your upload schedule if consistent, and be visually appealing without being cluttered.
This tool focuses on channel banners. For channel profile pictures (logos), you can see them in the preview but they require a different download method. The banner preview shows the channel avatar for context, but the download options are specifically for the banner image.
Studying successful channel banners in your niche helps you understand what visual elements attract viewers. You can learn about effective color combinations, text placement, imagery choices, and branding strategies. This research can help you create a more compelling banner for your own channel.
