Channel Art That Works on Every Screen
Full 2560×1440 canvas, safe zone built in
Design the whole canvas at once. The safe zone (1546×423) is the only area guaranteed visible on every device — keep your name, logo, and message inside it.
Layer your channel identity
Background, channel name in a strong font, tagline, and logo as separate layers. Move and scale each one so the core message sits centered, edges fill TV and desktop views.
The 5-device crop problem
TV sees 2560px, desktop varies, tablet 1855px, mobile 1546px. Only the center 1546×423 is universal. Everything outside is decorative on large screens and invisible on small ones.
Use the banner as marketing space
Most creators waste it. High-performing channels add one of: a posting schedule, a short value prop, or a social handle — the one place to say what the channel is about before a video earns it.
Export clean, and check it on a phone
YouTube caps banner uploads at 6MB, so export a clean high-quality PNG or JPG and keep the file under that limit. Size your channel name large — it renders small on mobile — and hold strong contrast against the background. Preview on a phone before publishing; what reads on desktop can vanish on a small screen.

Tablet crop — slightly narrower than desktop.
Safe Zone (All Devices)

What people use it for
The jobs the editor was built around — and what it does differently on each one.
Colourways you can revisit
Every edit is a layer, not a bake. When the brand shifts, reopen the file and change the colour rather than rebuilding the variant from the original.
Cutouts with awkward edges
AI background removal that keeps hair, foliage and soft shadows instead of stamping a hard outline around them. The output is a transparent PNG, ready to place.
No export, edit, re-import loop
The Framer plugin runs on the canvas you are already working in, so a recolour or a cutout does not mean a round trip through a second application.
Ten options in the time one used to take
Recolour once and step through the alternatives, so a client review can look at the whole range instead of the one version there was time to make.
Brand colours matched exactly
Pick a colour straight off an existing asset and get the hex, rather than eyeballing it against a screenshot and hoping it is close enough.
Free to preview, priced per export
Previewing is unlimited and costs nothing. A credit is spent only when you download a full-resolution file, so exploring an idea is never the expensive part.
