YouTube Banner Downloader FAQs
What size is a YouTube banner?
YouTube recommends uploading 2560 x 1440 pixels. It crops that differently for TVs, desktops and phones, which is why you see several sizes here.
What is the "Original (uncropped)" download?
The full image the channel uploaded, before YouTube crops it. The other buttons are the cropped versions YouTube actually shows.
Is the banner downloader free?
Yes, free with no account, signup or watermark.
Can I use someone else's banner?
The banner belongs to the channel. Using it to identify or review the channel is common, but ask the owner before using it for anything else.
Why does it say the channel has no banner?
Some channels never upload one. YouTube then shows a plain background, and there is nothing to download.
