Built for YouTube Channel Assets
Use one YouTube-focused workspace when each upload area needs a different crop, safe zone, visual role, and publishing context.
Channel Branding
Start a channel banner, cover, or channel art image with its existing preset, keeping the main identity elements together within the wider composition.
Thumbnail Composition
Frame a thumbnail around the face, object, or scene that explains the video, then inspect whether any title remains readable in the resized output.
Shorts Still Images
Use a vertical image preset for Shorts artwork, keeping the subject clear without assuming that a landscape thumbnail will work with the same crop.
End Screen Artwork
Prepare a background image for an end screen with space for the elements you will add later in your editing workflow or inside YouTube Studio.
Community Updates
Choose the community post preset for announcements, behind-the-scenes photos, or channel graphics that need a different layout from a video thumbnail.
Separate Identity Assets
Give the profile image its own centered composition instead of shrinking a complete channel banner into a small square with unreadable text and details.

Resize Image for YouTube FAQ
Answers about YouTube banners, thumbnails, Shorts images, community posts, profile photos, templates, crop review, and exports.
Choose templates for channel art, banner, cover, thumbnail, end screen, Shorts, community post, or channel profile images. Several uses share similar dimensions, but each destination can call for a different composition and amount of surrounding space.
The channel art, banner, and cover presets all start at 2560x1440. Their separate pages describe the related uses. Use the one that fits your task, and check the uploaded banner in YouTube because the visible area depends on the viewing layout.
The resizer shows the image and its crop using the shared editing controls. It does not reproduce every YouTube device layout. Keep important branding away from the outer edges, then check the banner preview in YouTube Studio before publishing it.
Upload a still image that you have already saved from the video, then select the thumbnail preset. Frame the scene and review the output before saving. This page resizes images; it does not extract video frames or choose a thumbnail automatically.
It prepares a vertical still image that you can use in your Shorts design workflow. It does not resize the video or guarantee where a cover appears. Check the available cover options and the final appearance in YouTube when adding the artwork.
No. You can resize a background image for your end-screen design, but interactive video links and other end-screen elements are added in YouTube. Leave room for those elements in your artwork and review the composition in your publishing workflow.
PNG is useful when the design contains logos, sharp lettering, or flat graphic shapes. JPG can suit photographic artwork. Inspect the exported file at a smaller size to check that titles remain readable before attaching it to your channel or video.
No. Processing happens in your browser, and the download page lets you save the resulting file. Upload it to the relevant YouTube area yourself. Your channel access, publishing settings, and video details are not changed by this image tool.
