Frequently asked questions

What size are YouTube banners?+

YouTube recommends uploading at 2560×1440. What you get back depends on what the channel uploaded — older channels often have smaller artwork, and this tool serves the largest version available.

Can I download the profile picture too?+

Yes, both the banner and the avatar are returned, each at the highest resolution YouTube serves publicly.

Does a @handle work?+

Yes. Channel URLs, @handles, /c/ and /user/ legacy links, channel IDs, and links to individual videos all resolve to the right channel.

Why does a channel have no banner?+

Not every channel uploads one. When none exists, only the profile picture is returned.

Can I use someone else’s banner?+

For reference and analysis, yes. Reusing another channel’s artwork on your own channel is a copyright and impersonation issue — do not do it.
