Customize your YouTube channel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 3 things to customize:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>a. Profile Picture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"824\" height=\"340\" data-src=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_6.jpg\" alt=\"Upload Profile Picture\" class=\"wp-image-3630 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_6.jpg 824w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_6-100x41.jpg 100w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_6-250x103.jpg 250w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_6-233x96.jpg 233w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 824px) 100vw, 824px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 824px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 824\/340;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, the profile image is tied to your brand image. The profile image is usually found where the company logo is located. Or, if you are the face of the company, put your image there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using a 98 x 98 pixel unanimated PNG, or GIF image. You&#8217;ll also need to make sure Youtube displays well with a smaller size and square and circular cutouts based on multiple spots using the profile picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>b. Banner Image<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"749\" height=\"309\" data-src=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_7.jpg\" alt=\"Upload Banner Image\" class=\"wp-image-3631 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_7.jpg 749w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_7-100x41.jpg 100w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_7-250x103.jpg 250w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screenshot_7-233x96.jpg 233w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 749px) 100vw, 749px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 749px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 749\/309;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Add channel graphics to show off your brand personality and create a more engaging YouTube profile. Channel graphics must be less than 6MB and at least 2048 x 1152 pixels. However, YouTube recommends using 2560 x 1440 pixels for the best results on all devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube provides a preview of each image you upload to\nshow you how it will look on a variety of devices. You can also change the\ncropping of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>c.
