If you have your own Youtube channel, sooner or later you will want to customize your channel homepage. This will brand your business or hobby as your own and separate you from the pack.
How do I make a background image for my Youtube Video channel?
My Youtube video channel background is 1598×1636 and is 214KB. Of course yours does not have to be this exact size. You can experiment by trying different sizes. It is also a JPG file. This is very easy to create from scratch. You can open Mspaint and start making your background.
How to create a new background image for Youtube in Ms paint?
1. Open Ms Paint. Usually in the start menu under accessories.
2. Click on File at the top. Then choose new.

5. Fill in the details for your Youtube background image. 1598 high x 1636 wide.

How do you add the banner to the top? And how do you keep the Youtube info from bleeding over your background? Just having trouble here…
Thanks in advance
