YouTube channel art that is not cut off
This youtube banner maker draws at 2560 x 1440, the size YouTube asks for, and keeps your channel name and words in the middle 1546 x 423, the only part every screen shows. The background carries on to the edges for TVs.
Start from the channel template, put your name and upload days in, and download a JPG under YouTube's 6 MB limit.

Why it matters
The right size for each site
Each size is the one the site recommends, so nothing is squashed or cropped by surprise.
Safe areas kept in mind
On the YouTube size the words stay in the middle strip that phones show; the LinkedIn profile template keeps clear of your profile photo.
Every part is editable
Templates are not pictures: each word, shape and photo can be changed, moved or deleted.

Questions
Why is my banner cropped on my phone?
YouTube crops to the middle strip on phones and computers. Keep words inside it, as this maker does on the YouTube size.
What size is a banner?
It depends where it goes: a LinkedIn banner is 1584 x 396 pixels, a Facebook cover 1640 x 624 (shown at 820 x 312 on computers), an X header 1500 x 500, a YouTube channel banner 2560 x 1440 and a website hero often 1920 x 600. Printed banners are measured in metres or feet: see the banner design page.
Why does my YouTube banner get cut off?
YouTube shows the whole 2560 x 1440 picture only on TVs. Phones and computers show the middle 1546 x 423, so the YouTube size here keeps your words and logo inside that strip.
Can I use my own photo?
Yes: click a photo frame, then Replace and choose your picture. Remove background cuts a person or product out of it.
Is the banner maker free?
Yes, converting is free: the conversion and checking the result cost nothing, and the work runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. The side-by-side preview on the converter pages comes with a free account. Saving the finished file is paid: $3.49 for one file ($3.99 for a technical file such as DXF, G-code, STL or embroidery) with no account needed, or included in a plan from $6.99 a month. Downloads follow the site plan.
