If you want to make an eye-catching YouTube channel logo you have to know the ideal size and the specification of a YouTube channel profile picture.
In this YouTube tutorial, we are going to explain everything you have to know about the YouTube channel profile picture size, specs, and dimensions.
YouTube Channel Profile Picture Specs
Here are the specifications for your YouTube channel profile picture also called the YouTube channel logo:
- the image should be at least 800 X 800 pixels image. (this is the recommended size, but you can upload images from 92 X 92 dimensions.
- as you can see the important thing is that a YouTube channel profile picture should have a square or circle format
- Another important specification is the file format. The YouTube channel profile picture should have a JPG, GIF, BMP, or PNG file format otherwise you won’t be able to upload it to YouTube
- Last but the least the YouTube channel profile image has to follow the YouTube Community guidelines
If you don’t have a perfect image size (like a rectangle format), YouTube will transform the image so it can fit the YouTube channel logo format and you also will be able to crop the image if it is necessary.
YouTube Channel Logo Image Size
When it comes to the size of the YouTube logo, keep in mind that you can upload images up to 4 megabytes.
If your YouTube channel logo image is bigger than 4 MB, YouTube won’t be able to display the new channel profile image.
But the image should also have at least an image size of 100 kilobytes so it looks good both on mobile and desktop.
YouTube Channel Profile Picture Templates
If you are not a professional designer and want to make sure you use the right dimensions, you can also use a YouTube channel logo template library.
Just use any of the premade templates that are designed using the right specifications and then you don’t have to worry about any of the stuff we have mentioned.
Can you upload animations to the YouTube channel profile picture?
Although you can upload YouTube channel profile images in GIF file format, you can’t upload animations as YouTube channel logo images.
