YouTube Banner & Profile Picture Safe Area Checker
Preview your channel art against the safe zones for TV, desktop, and mobile — plus the circular profile crop
YouTube crops your banner differently on every device, and your profile picture gets masked into a circle. This viewer overlays the official guidelines — the minimum safe area for mobile, the desktop and TV crops, and the circular profile mask — right on top of your artwork, so you can see exactly what gets cut before you upload.

How to use
- Load your finished YouTube banner (2560x1440px is the recommended size) or your profile image.
- Turn on the overlay you need: the circular profile mask, or the per-device banner safe zones (including the 1546x423px minimum mobile safe area).
- Check that no text or key design element crosses the crop lines on TV, desktop, or mobile, and reposition your artwork as needed.
FAQ
- What's the single most important rule for designing a YouTube banner?
- Upload at the recommended 2560x1440 pixels, but design for the center. On phones, viewers only see the middle 1546x423 pixel area — the minimum safe zone. Anything outside it (your logo, tagline, character art) gets cropped off for mobile viewers, so keep every important element inside that center block.
- Does the profile picture also get cropped differently on mobile, like the banner does?
- Yes — you upload a square profile picture, but it's always displayed cropped into a circle on your channel page, in comments, and in search results. Anything important placed in the square's corners — text or a character's face — gets clipped by that circular mask, so keep key elements inside the round guide.
