What this preset does
Recommended banner dimension is 2560 x 1440. Safe area for text and logos is 1235 x 338. File size should be 6MB or smaller.
YouTube banners display differently by device. Keep important text/logos inside the safe area.
What it cannot guarantee
If exact aspect ratio requires crop-aware positioning, you may need the future crop-aware preset workflow. This proof resizes with editable manual controls and does not silently crop your image.
Platform requirements can change, and CompressImageTo is not endorsed by or affiliated with YouTube.
