YouTube allows users to upload photos or videos, and they show thumbnails of them across multiple devices. You&#8217;ll want to use a 2560 x 1440 px background image for this important element of your YouTube channel. You should also include any social media accounts you want viewers to connect with you through the banner.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Background_image_is_perfect_for_a_YouTube_channel_banner\"><\/span>Background image is perfect for a YouTube channel banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A YouTube channel banner can have two main goals: to draw viewers in and show off the content of the video. Usually, it is designed to draw viewers in by using a beautiful background image that draws the eye to the content. This type of background image will not be distracting, so it&#8217;s ideal for promoting your YouTube channel. A good choice for your background image is a high-quality one.<\/p>\n<p>A background image is an excellent choice for a YouTube channel banner. Not only will the video itself look good, but it will also draw attention to the call-to-action and slogan. Regardless of the platform on which viewers view your banner, a background image is a great option. Make sure to select colors that are compatible with the picture. Pink and red are the colors of undershirts, while green is the color of healthcare. Its usage in a YouTube channel banner suggests a healthy content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"YouTube_banner_should_be_2560_x_1440_px\"><\/span>YouTube banner should be 2560 x 1440 px<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In general, YouTube channel banner sizes should be between 2560 x 1440 pixels and 2048 x 1152 pixels. The recommended size of these images is usually considered to be the standard size of a television screen. A JPG file of this size should fit within the maximum file size of 6 MB. The safe area is the central portion of the banner where important information will be visible on mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>The size of the YouTube channel banner should be at least 21 x 12 pixels. However, if you want the most impact on a small screen, the image should be at least 1546 x 423 pixels. YouTube has several different versions of its website, so this size may not be the right option for all. If you&#8217;re not sure which size to use, you can use the customization tool that YouTube offers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimize_clickable_aspects_of_your_banner\"><\/span>Optimize clickable aspects of your banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are some tips you can use to optimize clickable aspects of your YouTube channel banner. These tips should help you make your banner look good on different devices, such as desktop, mobile and television. Keep it simple, but make it look good. Using a graphic designer for your YouTube channel banner will be a great idea if you are having difficulty with this. They can draw the eye in the right places and help you avoid looking cluttered.<\/p>\n<p>Your YouTube channel banner should include a call to action. A call to action is vital to driving traffic to your channel. Your call to action should be able to direct people to your website or social profile. Make sure that your call to action fits within the banner&#8217;s safety zone. Keep in mind that it might cut off the text if viewed on a mobile device. To optimize clickable aspects of your YouTube channel banner, make sure that your call to action is visible, clear and easy to read.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_social_media_accounts_in_your_banner\"><\/span>Include social media accounts in your banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can display up to five social media links on your YouTube channel banner. In order to attract viewers, these links must be included in the banner. You can include your channel&#8217;s logo and social media accounts on the channel&#8217;s about page as well. But how do you choose which social media accounts to include? Here are some tips. Read on to learn more about which social media accounts to include on your YouTube channel banner.<\/p>\n<p>One of the best ways to engage your fans outside of YouTube is through social media. You can use this platform to share videos with fans, as well as keep in touch with them on a personal level. By including your social media accounts in your YouTube channel banner, your fans will see them right away, and will be able to connect with you easily. Adding a link to your social media accounts will increase your visibility and gain you a small backlink benefit.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"249\" width=\"445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y8olOQ3GgAA\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Make a YouTube Channel Banner If you&#8217;re wondering how to make a YouTube channel banner, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
