Where your banner gets cutKeep the words where every screen looks

Platforms crop banners and set your profile photo on top. Here is what each one hides, on real banners.

YouTube

One image shows on TVs, computers and phones, and some screens crop it. Text and logos belong in the safe area, outlined: the middle 1235 × 338 of a 2048 × 1152 image.

Fernhill YouTube banner with the full logo stacked above "Brew guides every Friday"

First try

The logo's top and the line under it fall outside the safe area.

“…In one centered block in the exact middle of the image, no wider than half the image width: the logo, then "Brew guides every Friday" in forest green serif letters under it.”

Fernhill YouTube banner: the fern emblem and "Brew guides every Friday" in one row between a pour-over brewer and a coffee bag

Second try

One short row in the center, all of it inside the safe area.

“…In the exact center of the image, one short horizontal row no taller than a fifth of the image height: the round fern emblem from the attached logo on the left, and to its right "Brew guides every Friday"…”

X

X may crop up to 60 px from the top and bottom of a 1500 × 500 header, depending on the screen and browser. The Long Lunch keeps its words clear of both bands.

LinkedIn

The cover image sits behind your profile photo, which covers its lower left. Priya's banner starts its line a third of the way in, clear of it.

How to make a bannerThree steps, one crop

  1. 1

    Write the words in quotes

    Name the platform, the scene and where the words go. Put every word that should appear in quotes, exactly as it should be spelled.

  2. 2

    Pick the nearest shape at 4K

    16:9 for YouTube. 21:9 for anything wider, like X, LinkedIn and Twitch. Ask for plain space at the top and bottom so the crop takes nothing you need.

  3. 3

    Crop to the platform's size

    Open the banner in the image editor and pick Crop. Type the width and height, like 3840 × 1280 for a 3:1 X header, move the frame and apply. Download the PNG.

The prompts behind every bannerQuote the words, then read them back

Read the quoted lines, then read the banner. All eight came out spelled as typed. Check yours before you post: if a word comes out wrong, an edit in the image editor fixes it.

YouTube banner for Salt & Ember: "Salt & Ember" and "New recipes every Thursday" between a pan of roasted carrots and a bowl of salt with lemons

YouTube channel banner

2560 × 1440

16:9 at 4K, no crop.

YouTube channel banner for a home cooking channel called "Salt & Ember". A dark walnut table seen from directly above, lit by warm late-afternoon window light. On the far left, a cast iron pan of charred carrots and shallots. On the far right, a bundle of thyme, two halved lemons, flaky salt in a small bowl and a folded linen towel. The middle of the table is clear, dark and calm. All text sits in one centered block in the exact middle of the image, no wider than half the image width: the channel name "Salt & Ember" in large cream serif letters, and under it, in small spaced capitals, "NEW RECIPES EVERY THURSDAY". No other words, logos or icons anywhere.

One brand, every bannerAttach the first to make the rest

Fernhill started with a logo. The logo went into the website hero as a reference. Both went into the YouTube banner, the X header and the ad, with one line in each prompt: “in the same style, colors and light as the attached website banner.”
