YouTube banner keeps getting cut off — what size actually works?
I designed a banner for my channel, but on mobile, half of it is missing. Is there a universal size or safe area I should be using so it looks right on all screens?

Yeah, I had the same issue until I figured out the correct youtube banner size is 2560×1440 px, but the trick is the “safe area” — 1546×423 px in the center. That’s the part always visible on any device. If your key visuals or text go outside that zone, they’ll get cropped. I fixed mine using this guide and now it displays perfectly everywhere.
