About this tool

What Banner Size Calculator does

The Adobe Express YouTube banner resizer helps users quickly adjust images to the platform's recommended 2560 x 1440 pixel dimensions. By uploading a photo, the tool lets you resize it in-browser and download the result for use as a channel banner. The free plan covers core resizing features, making it accessible without a subscription. The interface guides users through uploading, setting custom dimensions, and either downloading or continuing to edit the image within the Adobe Express ecosystem. The page explicitly notes file requirements: JPEG, JPG, PNG, or WebP, under 40MB. An embedded video demonstrates the resizing workflow, and the tool emphasizes retaining original image quality during the process. Compared to generic resizers, this version is tied to Adobe's broader design suite, offering a streamlined path from resizing to further customization if desired.
