Design a channel or profile header sized correctly for YouTube, X (Twitter), or Discord. Toggle safe area guidelines and export full-res PNG.
Safe area overlay shows text visibility across Mobile, Desktop, and TV viewing zones (excluded on PNG download)
A brat banner generator creates a channel or profile header sized correctly for YouTube, X, or Discord, styled with the bold, blurry look from Charli XCX's 2024 album Brat. Each platform crops banners differently, so this tool includes safe area guides you can toggle on to see exactly where your text and logo need to sit so nothing gets cut off.
If you want a square profile picture instead of a wide banner, use Brat Profile Picture Generator.
Every platform displays the same uploaded banner differently depending on the device, which is why a safe area matters more here than on most other image types.
YouTube channel banner. Upload at 2560 by 1440 pixels, the recommended size, with a 2048 by 1152 pixel minimum. Only the center 1546 by 423 pixel zone is guaranteed to show on every device, including mobile. Text or logos placed outside that zone can be cropped on phones even though they show fine on a desktop or TV screen. Keep the file under 6MB.
X (formerly Twitter) header. 1500 by 500 pixels, a wide 3 to 1 banner shape. The profile photo overlaps the lower left corner on most layouts, so keep your main text centered or shifted right.
Discord server banner. 960 by 540 pixels, a 16 to 9 shape, shown at the top of a server's channel list. This requires Server Boost level 2 to display. A Discord profile banner is a different size, 600 by 240 pixels, and unlocks with Nitro.
This tool includes presets for all four of these formats, with the safe area overlay available as a toggle so you can check your design before exporting.
No account is required, and you can generate a new banner for each platform separately.
A banner that looks correct on your desktop screen can still get cropped badly on a phone. YouTube shows only the full 2560 by 1440 image on a TV screen. Desktop shows a narrower strip, and mobile shows only the center 1546 by 423 pixel zone. If your channel name or logo sits near the top or bottom edge instead of the center, it disappears on the device most viewers actually use. The same problem applies to Discord and X, where the profile picture and layout elements overlap parts of the banner depending on the platform. Designing inside the safe area from the start avoids having to redo the banner after noticing it looks wrong on a phone.
