Youtube Banner Resolution?

[alt69]

Google has gave me about 3/4 different resolutions, can someone here please verify what resolution Youtube Banners are? (WxH)

 

[alt69]

Thank you.

I retract my post because Youtube definitely resizes it

So yeah just go with Google's guidelines

wait so what?
what resolution do I use then?

Why do you need it then and no I
am not here to faerm posts.

I also think that youtube adjusts it by itself. I had a high resolution backround and well it fit in fine.

To answer your "Why do you need it then" question, I'm making a lil thing for a friend.

Yeah make the canvas size 2560x1440, then just shrink that banner content into an area in the middle that is 1546x423

This is looking great

i would crop out the banner part and then resize it to 1546x423, which should look far more natural than trying to resize it that way. not sure how it'll look cause i dunno how big your file you're working with is.

then crop it back out to the big size it needs to be.

then just make a new layer underneath and it looks like there's just a pretty simple radial gradient for the background.

You should be able to find banner templates for PhotoShop if you look around a bit. They usually show banner sizes for various devices as well (tv, phones, etc).
