About YouTube Banner Maker — Free Online Tool
YouTube Banner Maker builds channel art at 2560 × 1440, the full-size frame the code targets for this tool, from one image you supply.
Channel art is a single wide file that gets cropped down differently depending on the screen it is viewed on, so this tool produces the whole frame and leaves the composition to you: the source is scaled to cover 2560 × 1440 with the edges falling away, or fitted inside it with the margins padded. The output is one flat JPEG. The crop windows are not burned into it as guide bands, and no wordmark or text is placed for you, so artwork that needs a logo should already carry it before it arrives here.
The image is read and redrawn locally in the browser tab, then handed back as a download. It is never posted to a channel and never uploaded to this site.
Taking a wide photograph up to full banner resolution, reshaping a design that was exported at the wrong proportions, and producing the header file before you open the channel customisation page.
