Step by Step

How to Banner Crop

01

Upload Your Image

Drop in a wide, high-resolution source. Banners often span 2500+ pixels wide, so start with the largest image you have.

02

Pick a Banner Preset

Choose LinkedIn 1584×396, Twitter/X 1500×500, Facebook 820×312, YouTube 2560×1440, or a custom hero size for your website.

03

Position the Subject

Keep the focal point near horizontal center and avoid the top 100px and bottom 100px — many platforms hide those areas under profile photos and overlays.

04

Download

Export as JPG for photographic banners (smaller file) or PNG for banners with text, logos, or transparent regions.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the standard banner sizes?

LinkedIn profile banner: 1584×396 (4:1). Twitter/X header: 1500×500 (3:1). Facebook page cover: 820×312 desktop, but 640×360 visible on mobile. YouTube channel art: 2560×1440 (safe area 1546×423). Twitch: 1200×480. Discord server banner: 960×540.

What are hero image best practices?

Use a wide aspect (16:9, 21:9, or 4:1), put the subject slightly off-center toward the rule-of-thirds line, leave 20–30% empty space where headline text will overlay, and check the mobile crop — many platforms center-crop the desktop banner to a square or portrait on phones.

Where is the title overlay safe area?

On most platforms, avoid placing critical subjects in the top 100px (often covered by browser chrome or platform UI) and the bottom 100px (often covered by profile photo, name, or scroll-down indicator). On YouTube, the TV-safe area is the center 1546×423 of the 2560×1440 banner.

What aspect ratio should I use for a banner?

Profile banners are typically 3:1 to 4:1 (very wide and short). Website heroes are usually 16:9 or 21:9. Email headers are often 3:1. Always crop to the platform's exact ratio — uploading 16:9 to a 4:1 slot will get center-cropped and you lose control.

Why does my banner look different on mobile?

Most social platforms show a wider banner on desktop and crop it tighter on mobile (often to a near-square). Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn all do this. Always preview at mobile width before publishing, and keep the main subject in the horizontal center where both desktop and mobile views overlap.
