How to Create a Profile Picture, Banner, and Thumbnail for a YouTube Channel

When designing visuals for your YouTube channel, each has a different purpose and size:

• Profile Picture: Represents your channel; should be simple, clear, and usually feature your logo. Recommended size: 800x800 pixels.

• Banner (Cover Photo): Appears at the top of your channel. It should reflect your brand identity and display properly on all devices. Recommended size: 2560x1440 pixels.

• Thumbnail: Used to grab attention for your videos. It should feature bright colors, clear text, and topic-relevant visuals. Ideal size: 1280x720 pixels.

All visuals should be high-resolution and maintain consistent colors and typography.
