To learn how to change your YouTube banner, read this article!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Editing_a_YouTube_banner\"><\/span>Editing a YouTube banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To create a banner that represents your brand, you must first select a template and click on Edit. Using this tool, you can customize the colors, size, and orientation of your banner images. The banner&#8217;s layout is also adjustable, so you can select more than one image. In addition, you can change the text, add a call to action, and add a background image for your channel. Changing the text is easy, too.<\/p>\n<p>Several free tools allow you to edit a YouTube banner easily. BeFunky is one of the easiest to use. You can easily drag and drop an image, add text, and make other edits to your images. BeFunky has an impressive library of templates and offers an easy-to-use interface. If you&#8217;re not familiar with photo editing, you can use PicMonkey, a free photo editor for Windows and Mac. Using this free service, you can quickly create a high-resolution banner for your channel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_clickable_link_to_a_banner\"><\/span>Adding a clickable link to a banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to drive traffic to a specific website, then adding a clickable link to your YouTube banner is essential. You can add a link in the video description or the banner itself. The link should be positioned in the bottom-right corner of the banner. You can add up to five links, including your website and social media profiles. Once your link has been placed, publish your changes and refresh the page.<\/p>\n<p>When you add a clickable link to your YouTube banner, you can choose to link to your own website, social media account, or TikTok account. The link will also be visible in your channel&#8217;s About page. Remember that the YouTube terms and conditions state that you cannot add any paid content or links that can harm or steal data from users. You cannot link to images of child abuse or any other content with which you are not comfortable.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Size_of_a_banner\"><\/span>Size of a banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re struggling to find the perfect artwork for your YouTube channel, you can change the size of a YouTube banner. This guide will show you how to make your banner look perfect. You&#8217;ll also learn about YouTube&#8217;s safe zone, which is the minimum area of the banner that you can display. Keep in mind that your YouTube banner should still include essential elements, such as a logo or a tagline. If your banner looks awkward, viewers may not even view it.<\/p>\n<p>The ideal YouTube banner size is 2560 x 1440 pixels, with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Keep in mind that the content of your banner must fit within the &#8220;safe zone&#8221; of 1546 x 423 pixels. This safe zone is the area of the banner that will be viewable on any device. YouTube also provides a preview of your banner on different devices. Therefore, before uploading your image, make sure you follow the guidelines of the YouTube safe zone.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safe_area_of_a_banner\"><\/span>Safe area of a banner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Ensure the safe area of a YouTube banner represents your brand. The safe area should include important information like the logo, slogan, social sharing links, and a link to your website. In addition, the link should be prominent and not cover other important information. The design elements of your banner should also not be obstructed by these links. Here are some tips for ensuring your YouTube banner&#8217;s safe area is effective.<\/p>\n<p>The safe area of a YouTube banner refers to the minimum space that a banner can occupy. The safe area is the minimum area in which important elements of the banner can be visible. If the banner is not in this area, it will appear cropped when viewed on mobile phones. Hence, it is important to design your banner in such a way that it looks great on every screen size. The safe area should be at least a half inch larger than the image itself.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_a_banner_from_a_template\"><\/span>Making a banner from a template<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you can start creating your own YouTube banner, you must know some basic rules. The first thing you need to know is that YouTube has certain cropping requirements for banners. If you want to make your banner appear on television, you have to crop it to display the whole image, while on mobile devices, you should crop it so that only the middle portion is displayed. Remember that 70 percent of YouTube views come from mobile apps.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest way to add text to your YouTube banner design is to hit the T key on your keyboard. Once you have hit the T key, click on the Text tab on the left-hand side panel. After that, select your text, choose the right font combination and resize your text box. Once you are done, export your design to your device and you&#8217;re all set. Don&#8217;t forget to include your website URL in your YouTube banner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change Your YouTube Banner If you&#8217;re unsure how to change your YouTube banner, then you&#8217;re not alone.
