What is YouTube channel art and why you should care?<\/h2>\n<p>YouTube channel art (also known as \u201cYouTube banner\u201d or \u201cChannel header image\u201d) is the image that appears on the top of your YouTube channel. It is similar to the Facebook cover image.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>Since it is located at the top of your YouTube channel, it holds a lot of importance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>It is the first thing people see when they visit your YouTube channel. To make that first impression impactful, you should make sure that you have an outstanding channel art!<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>A well thought out YouTube channel art tells the visitor, what your channel is all about and what they can expect from your channel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-17-at-5.02.17-PM.png\" alt=\"Matti Haapoja YouTube channel art\" \/><\/div>\n<p>A great example of this is Matti Haapoja\u2019s channel art. The camera he is holding and the view shown in channel art indicates that the channel has something to do with photography, videography or travel. The text on the channel art makes this message a lot clear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>So, while making a YouTube channel art, you have to make sure that you convey your message very clearly. But before you directly jump into designing a YouTube channel art, you should know some of the guidelines and best practices which will help you create an impactful channel art. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"step2\" style=\"padding-top: 70px; margin-top: -70px;\">\n<h2>2. Best practices for creating a great channel art!<\/h2>\n<p>Each YouTube channel has its own genre of content and its own brand personality. That\u2019s why the concept of \u201cone size fits all\u201d won\u2019t work for the YouTube channel art creation process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>To make things easier for you, we have come up with some clear guidelines that will tell you about the best size for a channel art, the safe zone area within the channel art and where you should place your main components like text and images so that they are visible on all devices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<h5>Best size for a YouTube Channel Art<\/h5>\n<p>According to Google, the recommended size for a YouTube channel art is 2560x1440px. But, do note that YouTube crops out a different part from this size for different devices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>For, example if you create a channel art with dimensions 2560&#215;1440, then this is how your channel art will look like on different devices. <\/p>\n<div class=\"img-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 80%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-17-at-5.11.31-PM.png\" alt=\"Channel art on different devices\" \/><\/div>\n<h5>Safe Zone for YouTube Channel art<\/h5>\n<p>As shown in the image above, the channel art appears fully on TV whereas, the channel art is cropped for desktop and mobile devices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>What has to be noted here is that there is some part of the channel art that is always visible regardless of the device that is being used. This area is called the safe zone for your YouTube channel art.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>But while designing how can you make sure that the Channel art is within the safe area? <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/embed\/5dSVztOWsEYYIYEX3m\" width=\"480\" height=\"350\" frameBorder=\"0\" class=\"giphy-embed\" allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/giphy.com\/gifs\/5dSVztOWsEYYIYEX3m\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Well!

The preview screen that opens will show you how the channel art will look on different devices.

How to make a cool YouTube channel art?<\/h2>\n<p>Creating a YouTube channel art can be a nightmare without the help of a user-friendly tool, especially when you have to create for different devices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>In this guide, we are using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmaker.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Picmaker<\/a> to make a channel art that fits every device. Picmaker is free, easy to use YouTube channel art maker launched by the creators of Animaker.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>Without further ado, let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n<h5>1.Select proper YouTube channel art size<\/h5>\n<p>As we discussed in the previous section, the recommended dimensions for a YouTube channel art is 2560x1440px. To create a project at the recommended size, Just click on the YouTube channel art button on the dashboard to set the workspace area of the new project 2560&#215;1440. <\/p>\n<div class=\"img-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 90%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-01-at-7.13.22-PM.png\" alt=\"YouTube channel art option in Picmaker\" \/><\/div>\n<h5>2. Select an image<\/h5>\n<p>Once the project is opened, the first step is to select an image for your channel art. The image you choose will define the personality of your channel and brand. So, it\u2019s very important that you do some deep thinking on the type of image you want to generate for your channel.<\/p>\n<div class=\"seperate\"><\/div>\n<p>For example, if you want to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.picmaker.com\/youtube-banner\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">create a YouTube channel art<\/a> for a channel which is into travel, then you have to select an image that conveys the essence of the travel experience.<\/p>\n<div class=\"img-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 90%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.animaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-01-at-7.23.32-PM.png\" alt=\"Use photos in Picmaker\" \/><\/div>\n<p>To use an image into Picmaker, click on the photos button in the property tab and pick the right image from 1000s of royalty free stock images which are readily available.<\/p>\n<h5>3.
