What is YouTube Channel Art (Banner)?
A YouTube channel banner (also known as YouTube Channel Header or Channel Art) is the large visual hero image that stretches across the top of a creator's YouTube channel page. It defines the channel's visual branding, upload schedule, social links, and value proposition.
YouTube recommends an image size of 2560 × 1440 pixels, which is scaled and cropped dynamically across TV, Desktop, Tablet, and Mobile devices.
Our YouTube Banner Downloader lets you extract and download the original, uncropped master channel artwork and high-resolution avatars directly from YouTube's media servers.
