Youtube DIMENSIONS

Profile Photo

Most common sizes: 1920x1080 or 1280x720

Video Thumbnails

Channel Cover

This one is tricky, bear with me:

  • Full size cover is 2560x1440

  • For viewing on a computer monitor, the size is 2560x423

  • For viewing on Tablet, the size is 1855x423

  • For viewing on any device, the size is 1546x423

So here's what that means. Upload an image that is 2560x1440, but fit all the important information within 1546x423. See the image example below:
