What is a YouTube banner and profile picture downloader?
This tool shows a YouTube channel's profile picture and banner at full size, plus every resized and cropped copy YouTube serves to different screens, each with a download button.
A banner is uploaded as one large image, but TVs show all of it, desktops a wide strip from the middle and phones a narrower strip still. Seeing each crop side by side is the quickest way for creators to check that their own logo and text survive on every device. It also helps recover artwork you've lost the original of, or gather your own assets for a media kit. Other channels' images belong to them, so download those only with permission or another lawful reason.
How to download a YouTube channel banner or profile picture
1.Enter the channel
Paste your own channel's link or @handle to check its artwork, or any channel you have permission to use.
2.Pick a size
See the original profile picture and banner, plus the profile sizes and the TV, desktop and mobile banner crops.
3.Download
Download any image as a JPEG, or copy its link.
Example: how one banner is cropped
For a banner uploaded at YouTube's recommended 2048 × 1152:
- TV
- the full 2048 × 1152 image
- Desktop
- a wide strip from the middle
- Mobile
- a narrower strip from the middle
- Safe on every screen
- the central 1235 × 338 area
Anything outside the central 1235 × 338 can be cut off on some screens, so keep names and logos inside it.
Every size YouTube serves
YouTube stores the image a creator uploaded and serves resized and cropped copies of it. The original banner is the full image, which TVs show; desktops show a wide strip from its middle and phones a narrower one. This tool lists the original and each crop.
It's handy for checking how your own banner crops on each screen, recovering artwork you've lost, or making a press kit. Images belong to their channel, so use other people's only with permission.
Frequently asked questions
What size should a YouTube banner be?
YouTube recommends at least 2048 × 1152 pixels at 16:9. Keep text and logos inside the central 1235 × 338 area, which every screen shows.
What size is a YouTube profile picture?
YouTube recommends uploading 800 × 800 pixels. It's shown as a circle at 98 × 98 pixels, so keep the important part in the middle.
Why is the original larger than the other sizes?
The original is the image as uploaded. The other sizes are copies YouTube resizes and crops for each screen.
Can I use another channel's banner or logo?
They belong to the channel. Download them for your own channel, or when you have permission or another lawful reason to use them.
