About this tool

The wide artwork across the top of a channel page is its banner, and YouTube hides the full-size file behind the page. Paste a channel link or @handle here and the banner comes back at the highest resolution YouTube has — up to 2560 pixels wide — ready to save.

Study the banners of channels in your niche before designing yours: how they handle the safe area in the middle (the only part every TV, phone and computer shows), where the text sits, how much they dare to put at the edges. Downloading three or four of the best is a free design course.

Worth knowing: Some channels never uploaded a banner — YouTube shows a plain background instead. In that case this tool will tell you honestly rather than hand you a made-up file: no banner exists to download.

How to use the YouTube Channel Banner Downloader

Questions people ask

What resolution will I get?

Whatever YouTube holds as the channel's best — for properly set-up channels that is 2560×1440. The exact size is shown before you download.

Why does the tool say no banner was found?

That channel has not uploaded banner art, so YouTube has nothing to give. There is no banner file to invent, and this tool does not invent one.

Can I re-upload someone's banner to my channel?

No — banner art is the channel's own design work. Download banners to study layout and safe areas, then make yours.
