Banner & Cover Photo Maker with Safe Areas
Put your own photo in a YouTube banner, Facebook cover, LinkedIn banner, X header and more, and see what TVs, computers and phones each cut off. Drag it into place, add a title inside the safe area and download the exact size.
Safe area 1546 × 422 px
or drop it here, or paste it (JPG, PNG or WebP)
YouTube's help page gives the safe area as 1235 × 338 px on a 2048 × 1152 image. Scaled to 2560 × 1440 that is the same 1546 × 423 middle box guides quote.
Upload limit: 6 MB. JPEGs are saved at the highest quality that fits.
Device crops and profile-photo positions are estimates from each app’s current layout, rounded so the safe area errs small.
What people see
Some text is outside the safe area, so it may be cut off or hidden behind the profile photo on some devices. Make it smaller or shorter.

How to make a banner that fits every screen
Pick the banner
Choose the platform and banner type. The editor switches to its exact upload size.
Add and position your photo
Choose, drop or paste a photo, then drag it and zoom until the important part sits inside the green safe area.
Check every device
Turn the coloured device outlines on and off and look at the desktop and mobile previews. Red zones are covered by your profile photo or logo.
Add text and download
Type a title and subtitle if you want them, pick JPEG or PNG and download the banner at the exact size.
Why one banner looks different on every screen
Platforms take one image and crop it differently for each screen. A YouTube banner is 2560 × 1440, but only a TV shows all of it: a computer shows a 2560 × 423 strip across the middle, and a phone just the middle 1546 × 423. Facebook, X, Discord and Bluesky also trim the top and bottom on some screens, and most of them put your profile photo over a corner of the banner.
This tool draws each of those crops on top of your own photo, in its own colour, and shades what the profile photo or logo covers. The green box is what's left on every device. Your title and subtitle are placed inside it, and if they grow too big to fit, you're warned before you download.
Upload sizes and file limits come from each platform's help pages, checked in October 2026, and the page says where they disagree. Platforms don't publish exactly where each device crops or where the profile photo sits, so those are estimates from the current layouts, rounded so the safe area errs on the small side. Your photo is never uploaded: everything is drawn in your browser.
Features
Every crop at once
TV, desktop, tablet and mobile outlines on your actual photo, each in its own colour, with a legend and a switch for each.
Profile photo zones
See where the profile photo or company logo covers the banner on desktop and on phones, and keep faces and text out of it.
Real previews
Desktop and mobile mock-ups show just the part each one displays, with a stand-in profile photo on top.
Text that stays safe
A title and subtitle aligned inside the safe area, with a warning if any of it would be cut off or covered.
Exact size, under the limit
Downloads at the platform's size. JPEG quality is lowered only as far as needed to fit YouTube's 6 MB or Bluesky's 1 MB limit.
Nothing is uploaded
Your photo is opened and drawn in your browser and never sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a YouTube banner, and what is the safe area?
Upload 2560 × 1440 pixels (16:9), at most 6 MB. Only the middle 1546 × 423 shows on every device, so keep your channel name, logo and faces there. YouTube's own help page puts it as 1235 × 338 on a 2048 × 1152 image, which is the same box at the smaller size.
What size should a Facebook cover photo be?
Sources disagree. Facebook's Help Center says 851 × 315 loads fastest and that covers show at 16:9 on computers and 2.4:1 on phones; most guides say 820 × 312 on computers and 640 × 360 on phones. This tool exports 1640 × 624, sharp on high-resolution screens, and keeps text inside the area all of those crops share, clear of the profile photo.
What is the LinkedIn banner size?
1584 × 396 for a personal profile (JPG or PNG under 8 MB). Your profile photo covers the left third on both desktop and the app, so put text on the right. Company pages use a different, flatter cover: LinkedIn asks for 1512 × 256, up to 3 MB.
What size is an X (Twitter) header?
1500 × 500. Your profile photo sits over the lower left, and X notes that some screens crop the top and bottom, so keep text in the middle band to the right of the photo.
Why is my banner blurry or rejected after upload?
Most often it's too small or too big a file. Upload at the exact size the tool exports, and stay under the limit: YouTube allows 6 MB and Bluesky 1 MB. JPEGs from this tool are sized to fit automatically; a PNG can be much larger, so you're warned if it goes over.
Can I make a banner without a photo?
Yes. Pick a solid colour or gradient background, type a title and subtitle, and download it.
