Frequently asked questions
Good to know
- Thumbnail size (1280×720) is YouTube's exact recommendation for best quality across devices.
- Channel banners are exported at full 2560×1440 — YouTube automatically crops for different screens, so keep key text centered.
- High-contrast text (like the yellow accent) tends to perform better in thumbnails.
