How to make a youtube banner on photoshop -

Creating a YouTube banner (channel art) in Photoshop is straightforward once you follow the right dimensions and layout guidelines. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

🔧 Step 1: Set Up Your Document

Open Photoshop.
Go to File > New.
Set the dimensions to:
- Width: 2560 pixels
- Height: 1440 pixels
- Resolution: 72 or 150 PPI (for web)
Click Create.

🧩 Step 2: Use the Safe Zone Template

YouTube displays the center 1546 x 423 px on all devices (TVs show the full image, desktops and mobiles show less).

Add a guide or download a YouTube Banner Template PNG with guides (I can provide one if you’d like).
Mark the safe zone:
- 507 px from each side (2560 – 1546 = 1014 / 2 = 507)
- 508.5 px from top and bottom (1440 – 423 = 1017 / 2 = 508.5)
Or create a rectangle:
- Size: 1546 x 423 px
- Center it: Align Horizontally and Vertically

🎨 Step 3: Design Your Banner

Design inside the safe zone so it’s visible on all devices.

Ideas to include:

Channel Name or Logo
Tagline or upload schedule
Social media icons or website URL (optional)
Background image or color gradient

📝 Keep text and logos within the safe zone for best visibility.

💾 Step 4: Export Your Banner

Go to File > Export > Export As.
Select JPEG or PNG.
Set quality to 80-100%.
Click Export and save.
