A YouTube banner is one of the first things people see when they visit your channel. This makes it an amazing opportunity to entice your potential subscribers. But YouTube uses this banner image for all screen formats – TV, desktop, mobile phone and tablet. As a result, it can be difficult to create a banner that fits and looks great across all devices. If you’re a YouTuber and need a banner for your channel, I’ll show you how to make a Photoshop banner on this tutorial. I’ll show you one way and then you can use that file as a YouTube banner template to customize it as per your needs.

How to Make a YouTube banner in Photoshop

  • A YouTube banner must have specific dimensions – to make sure it will work well on all devices, you should make it 2560 x 1440 px. So start by creating a 2560 x 1440 px document in Photoshop with the following setting. Set the background fill color to #333333.
  • Add background and adjust its size. Then Rasterize the layer (right-click > Rasterize Layer) and subsequently desaturate the image (Shift-Command-U).
  • Now add a Layer Mask from the Layers panel and apply a Radial Gradient with the Gradient Tool (G) using the black front color. Then set the layer opacity to 80%.
  • Let’s create the boxes to place the stock images. Draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool (U) and set the Stroke thickness to 20 px; any fill color will do.
  • Apply a drop shadow to the rectangle using the blending options.
  • Import the first stock image and place it over the rectangle. Rasterize the image (Layer > Rasterize > Layer) and then desaturate the layer (Shift-Command-U).
  • Now create a clipping mask with the rectangle below (right click > Create clipping mask) to enter the box.
  • Draw another rectangle around the frame with a stroke weight of 1 px (#FFFFFF) and no fill color. Then group the rectangle, image and frame (Command-G).
  • Make six copies of the portrait (Command-J) and place the rest of the images in each of the portraits.
  • Create a text title called “TRAVELCITY” with the Horizontal Type Tool (T) and Bold the word “CITY”.
  • Take the Pen Tool (P) and draw a 5 px thick frame around the text title, leaving the upper right corner open. Then draw a cross with a stroke weight of 10 px.
  • Now let’s create a vignette. To do this, create a gradient layer in the Layers panel using black color as the front and apply the following settings.
