How to verify your podcast channel art
Your banner is prime real estate. It needs to work on a phone screen and a 70-inch TV. Here is how to get it right.
1. Trust the Safe Area
YouTube banners are huge (2560×1440), but the "safe area" for text is only 1546×423 in the center. Keep your title and tagline inside the dashed box, or mobile users won't see them.
2. High Contrast Wins
If your cover art is dark, use a light text color. If it is bright, go dark. Our tool suggests readable colors automatically, but you should always check legibility in the preview.
3. Consistency is Key
Don't reinvent your brand. Use the same fonts and colors as your cover art so listeners recognize you instantly. A banner should feel like an extension of your show, not a separate poster.
