A CTA, or call-to-action, should be clearly visible on the banner. The design should be coherent, with similar style, tone, and colors. In addition, it should be free of competing shapes and colors, which may overwhelm the viewer&#8217;s eye. The following tips should help you come up with an effective YouTube banner.<\/p>\n<p>Use a high-quality image. Using images is an important way to encourage viewer engagement and form associations with brands and content. Images shouldn&#8217;t be larger than 6MB so they don&#8217;t get pixelated on large screens. The most common YouTube banner size is 2560 x 1440 pixels, but remember that your banner will look different on a mobile device, desktop computer, and television. If you&#8217;re not sure what size your YouTube banner should be, use a template to make it easier to decide.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Changing_your_banner\"><\/span>Changing your banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Changing your YouTube banner image is simple. First, you must upload an image that has the correct resolution (at least 2048 x 1152 pixels) and aspect ratio (16:9). You can crop the image if necessary, but make sure to keep it under six megabytes. Next, you should add the text or logos you want to display. Once these are added, click &#8220;Publish&#8221; to save the changes. You should now see a new banner on your YouTube channel!<\/p>\n<p>Next, you can create a new banner photo. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can upload it to YouTube by selecting it from your computer or from the photo library. Be sure to select the correct size and resolution, and then click &#8220;Next&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y8olOQ3GgAA\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"490\" height=\"274\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make a YouTube Banner If you want to create a YouTube banner, you need to know how to design it.
