I uploaded a YouTube banner that looks fine on desktop, but on my phone, parts of it are cut off. What am I doing wrong, and what’s the correct banner size to fix this?
I saw this guide mentioned in a startup newsletter and saved it for later — glad I did. As someone currently in the process of Moving from bubble to my own code base, the breakdown on backend logic and transition timing was exactly what I needed. I shared it with my small dev team to help us align on next steps.
I ran into the same issue and found out that while the full youtube banner size is 2560×1440 px, the visible “safe area” is only 1546×423 px. That’s where all the important stuff like text and logos should be placed. If it goes outside that zone, it gets cropped on mobile. Also, file size should stay under 6MB.
