Banner preview

How the YouTube Channel Banner Downloader works
- Paste the channel URL or handle.
- Choose the crop you need — full art for reference, safe area for checking what phones actually show.
- Preview it and save the copy at the resolution you picked.
The method
YouTube stores one 2560x1440 image and crops it per device, so only the centre survives everywhere.
Text-safe centre = 1235 x 338 px inside a 2560 x 1440 upload
Anything outside that centre box is visible on desktop or TV only, which is why so many banners have their logo cropped off on phones.
FAQ
Can I reuse someone else's banner?
Only with permission. Channel art is the creator's work, and downloading it for reference is not the same as republishing it. Use it to study layout, not to copy.
Why does my saved banner look soft?
Because the version a page displays is often a scaled variant, not the original upload. Pick the full 2560x1440 option before saving.
What size should I upload for my own channel?
2560x1440 with everything important inside the central 1235x338 box, and under 6 MB.

Channel Banner Downloader is most useful as a layout reference — the safe-area boxes tell you why so many banners lose their logo on mobile.
