Change YouTube cover photo

If your YouTube channel does not yet have a cover picture, it is high time to change that. We show you where to upload the picture.

Change cover picture on YouTube

1. Open your YouTube channel and click on the blue button "Add channel images".
2. You can now import an image from your Google Plus profile or upload a new one. However, the image must have a size of at least 2048 x 1152 pixels.
3. Once you have selected an image, you will be shown how it will look on your PC, smartphone and TV. If you wish, you can now crop the picture.
4. If you are satisfied with the picture, click on the "Select" button. If you want to change or change the picture again later, you can select the "Edit channel picture" option using the edit icon in the top right.
