Pick the platform, add your words and colors, download a pixel-exact banner, no design software, no watermarks.
Banner specs are a moving target that punishes guesswork, upload a wrongly sized cover and the platform crops your headline. This maker works at each platform's exact pixel dimensions (X headers 1584×396, Facebook covers 820×312, YouTube channel art 2560×1440 with the text kept inside YouTube's safe area, plus a generic wide banner), designs with a clean gradient or solid background, an optional photo, and strong centered type, then exports a PNG at full resolution, not the scaled preview size.
Design guidance that matters more than features: banners are billboards, not documents, one name, one line, nothing else survives at a glance. Keep text inside the middle 60% horizontally for YouTube (TVs show the whole canvas, phones crop hard to the center). If you add a photo, the maker darkens it so type stays readable; busy photos still fight headlines, so choose calm images. Recheck sizes when platforms redesign, specs here reflect the long-standing published dimensions.
Why does the preview look smaller than the download? The preview scales to fit the page; the canvas itself is full-size and the download is the true pixel dimensions shown in the preset, verify in any image viewer.
Can I use my own fonts? The banner renders in a strong system sans for reliability across machines. For brand-font banners, this tool gives you the correct-size background and layout reference to finish in a design app.
Is there a watermark? None. Output is clean and entirely yours, as with every tool on this site.
