Loona YouTube Banner Maker — Free Channel Art 2560 × 1440
YouTube crops your banner differently on TV, desktop and phone. The safe area — the middle 1235 × 338 zone — is where your name must live; this template is built around it.
Click a block to select it, drag to move, drag its bottom-right corner to resize. Layers: use Send backward / Bring forward.
How to use the YouTube Banner Maker
- Pick a size and a starter template — every template is fully editable, nothing is locked.
- Click any text, shape or photo block to edit it: drag to move, drag the corner to resize, restyle in the editor below the canvas.
- Add your own photo blocks and background, arrange layers with Send backward / Bring forward.
- Download the PNG at the exact size you picked, or use Print / Save as PDF for paper copies.
How it works
The canvas is YouTube’s full 2560 × 1440. The lighter centre band in the template marks the safe area (1235 × 338) — keep all words inside it; treat the rest as decoration that some devices will crop. This page runs on Loona’s shared canvas editor: your design is a stack of text, shape and photo blocks rendered at the exact pixel size chosen, so exports are print- and platform-ready. Blocks are clamped inside the canvas and layers can be reordered. Everything happens in your browser — photos are never uploaded.
Worked example
A creator’s name was cut off on phone screens for months. Rebuilt here with the name inside the safe band, the channel looks right on every device.
