YouTube Channel Art Resize
YouTube channel art is the branding image displayed at the top of your channel page, sharing the same 2560×1440px canvas as the banner. After upload, TVs show the full area, desktops display the center strip, and mobile shows only the center safe zone (1546×423px) — so device-specific cropping must be considered. The minimum upload size is 2048×1152px, but 2560×1440px delivers the sharpest result. This tool crops your image to the exact canvas size and saves it as JPG.

FAQ
Are channel art and channel banner the same thing?
They refer to the same image area, both using the 2560×1440px spec. YouTube documentation sometimes uses "banner image" and "channel art" interchangeably.
What is the minimum upload size?
You need at least 2048×1152px to upload. However, preparing at 2560×1440px gives the sharpest result across all devices.
Any tips for placing logos and text on channel art?
Keep logos and text inside the mobile safe area (center 1546×423px). Areas outside this zone may be cropped depending on the device — fill them with background patterns.
