YouTube banner generator
Examples
Example prompt
Design a wide YouTube channel banner background: bold modern graphic composition, clean geometric shapes and a strong two-color story, the horizontal center band kept calm and visually empty so a channel name can be overlaid afterwards, high contrast toward the edges, generous margins, flat vibrant palette, crisp print-quality graphic, absolutely no text, no letters, no numbers, no watermark, no logos.
Paste it into the Prompt field above and adjust the details to fit your task.

YouTube channel art is one file shown three ways: TV shows the whole 16:9 frame, desktop slices a wide strip through the middle, and mobile keeps only a small central band. The generator works the way a designer would — a strong graphic identity with a deliberately calm center, so whatever you place there stays readable on every screen.
Why the center ships empty
Image models still misspell short display text, and a banner with a garbled channel name is worse than no banner. So this tool builds the composition, the palette and the safe zone, and you drop your wordmark on top in any editor — ten seconds of work that always comes out spelled right.
How to get a usable banner
- Pick two brand colors and name them in the prompt; the model holds a tight palette far better than a loose description.
- Keep the overlay short. Channel name plus one tag line is all a banner can carry.
- Generate variants. Run the same prompt three times with different palettes and keep the best — at per-image pricing that costs cents.
After generating
Export at the largest size available, overlay your name, and check the mobile crop before uploading. Pair it with the YouTube thumbnail generator so banner and thumbnails share one look, and the LinkedIn banner tool for the same branding on a professional profile.
FAQ
What size should I upload to YouTube?
YouTube recommends 2560x1440. Generate at the widest ratio available here, then upscale to the final size with the image upscaler before uploading.
Can it write my channel name for me?
It can try, and short simple names come out right often enough to play with — but the reliable workflow is to overlay the text yourself, which is why the composition keeps the center clean.
Is one banner enough?
One file covers TV, desktop and mobile, but the safe areas differ. After uploading, check how your banner looks on a phone and shift the overlay toward the center if anything gets cut.
