[@libby168]

i want to make channel art without downloads

[@psychoticaimz8506]

:)

[@valentino7713]

okkkk

[@dreadfulgamer4784]

thank you

[@thecattwins3661]

why DO WE NEED TO PAY FOR CHANNEL ART?!?!?

[@chr0nosIRL]

I cannot believe how complicated they have made this simple feature.

[@PashenCartwright]

Truth!

[@pyrrhicvideos5811]

Objects will be thrown from a window at anywhere from 4-8 stories high.

[@josephcullen4616]

This is not complicated at all... All you have to do is make sure you have the right measurements and then do what you wish with it.It's like measuring something with a ruler, the same logic.

[@hraculezboufaunt9726]

Chr0nos I'm telling you!🤦🏾‍♂️

[@dianeconcha1931]

I miss the old days of KZbin ('07-'08) when you could actually add background channel art instead of the just header art, and it was simple.

[@one9789]

So 2016 is now 2019. *Interesting.*

[@thepersonfromtime2947]

It's maybe updated.

[@Faze9784]

KZbin has found a way to make something that should be simple, difficult and confusing.

[@ChannelEmpire]

Yeah hope this helped

[@chr0nosIRL]

Im here because I've just spent 2 hours resizing images to the size youtube asks for...you upload them, and you can see about one letter of your logo. SO pathetically hopeless.

[@lilyannakelsey]

I have spent frusturating hours trying to make channel art and downloading dumb apps!!

[@jasminemoonstream8581]

Same

[@peterdavies3084]

have done ... Please subscribe to mine (thank you)

[@chrisnotap]

Great video Andy. Good instruction. Video flows along nicely. Canva is very cool.

[@CheeseMeeseGetCheesed]

HOW DO I RESIZE IT?!? It doesn't let me do that so it only shows a small part of my channel art!

[@jellyofmybelly6338]

Unfortunately, I don't you can, the image has to be a certain size to be able to put as a back round.

[@CheeseMeeseGetCheesed]

Damn

[@jellyofmybelly6338]

CheeseMeese You will have to get a different back round that looks fine as really zoomed in,

[@colinhirschman3748]

CheeseMeese there is a mobile app called image sizer I would suggest using that app I've had used that app to resize my backrounds for my channel art Channel Art Size: 2560 1152

[@MistyAj-hr6qo]

I was searching for about 4 hours on channel art and logo websites, videos, etc. Yours was the only one that actually worked. THANK YOU

[@ChannelEmpire]

thanks for watching :)

[@WhyIsThisTrue]

Canva site comes up as "not secure connection" Try Latigo as an alternative. Seems to work OK

[@s.r8042]

Mine is a secure connection

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i ditched it too. They wanted access to my contacts.

[@katrathukaialavu]

Pencil icon and gear icon to my channel both gone what should I do please help me i can't change my banner..not shown customize layout (blue button )

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

Gotta say I'm glad to find a adult. Had to go through three kids with colds and a couple tini bobbers to get here. LOL! Thanks for the tips. 😆🤘

[@ChannelEmpire]

yes i'm a kid trapped in an adult's body

[@svqth5251]

i need to ask a question why if it docent say youtube channel art

[@spamming9764]

why do u hate kids jeez ILL TELL U WAT IMA KID OFFENDED uhhhhhhh....

[@zoeykathryn2414]

OMGosh!!!! You are a LIFE-SAVER!!!!! I spent 2 hours trying to make one and I could do this in like 10 minutes!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@jayvlogstoo1194]

Very helpful.. thank so much!!!!!

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks for watching!

[@IbbyVK]

Hey Andy, I have a small question and would like your feedback In your thumbnails video you used picmonkey which i really liked, so can I use that instead of canva for channel art. And also what about vice versa? Thanks and much love :D

[@ChannelEmpire]

Yes I still use both

[@Official.jay1]

it doesnt work for me its TOO SMALL HELP!!!!!!

[@vaoeshi9475]

How is that possible?

[@ososo]

Why don't you *fricking resize the image*?

[@ososo]

"me too is to small" xD

[@pistermerfect8913]

What did you did?

[@BrittniColleen]

Are you extending the whole image to Desktop Max? You want to make sure you are and then keep your text and logo in the safe area or else you'll have white space past the safe area.

[@DerekGabbyVlogs]

I just started my channel and been searching on this for awhile now and couldn't find anything. Found this gem and created mine. Thanks so much for your help! Life saver.

[@BHans95]

[@RGMGFitness]

Just 'updated' my KZbin Channel Art. This was very helpful and definitely saved me some time. I love doing a quick search in KZbin and finding exactly what I need. This was perfect! Thanks again....

Great video Andy I'm starting up my gaming channel and if you want to check out my banner, this is exactly what I needed so thank you for saving me before I made a terrible one :P

[@ChannelEmpire]

thanks for watching

[@jacobchristianglover3655]

Good stuff Andy! I appreciate you taking the time to make this video tutorial... Be well and stay encouraged!

[@dangernoodle9290]

Who's the jerk who disliked?

[@KTLifestyle]

Thanks Andy for the super simple tutorial. I love making my channel art because it's so fun for me. I don't know why, but I love being able to look back after the edit and be able to see the finished product every single time.

[@NishchayG]

I bet I have the best channel art

[@truebro77]

Brilliant video Andy. I've just started my own KZbin channel and I've been looking for something to help me make it more professional and you've given me that with this well-presented video. Awesome buddy! Cheers

[@HTKVlogs]

When I download my finished header, it's being saved different than it looks on the canva website. The font is not in the same spot where it shows on the canva website. How do I fix this?

[@missmillionz]

My computer don't work like yours. Every time I would click "upload image" it brings me to my images not my files that look like your at 6:45 please someone give me more details. :(

[@sueiam]

This video saved me from doing some much extra work in creating a KZbin channel art. Thank you so so much for making this tutorial! Will definitely share this with my friends :D

[@thefempreneursclub685]

Finally... a video explaining very easy how to fit my design in KZbin!! I have looked for this simple solution for soooo long. Thank you for sharing.

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks for watching!

[@DeniseReedis]

I've added this video to my playlist! I love Canva. Thanks for keeping this so simple for channel beginners.

[@paulallenMacca]

I tried to put up a channle art but i dont have any images for the Image sizes needed which is quite big.

[@QuinsCoins]

Awesome, I'll have to check this out when I get the chance! Looks like a nice alternative to picmonkey, which doesn't let you save your progress and is constantly slowing down due to all of the ads on the page. Thanks Andy!

[@ChannelEmpire]

Yup I use both of them because they both have their pros/cons.

[@ReloadedReeality]

Hi there! I'm having issues with the tool bar within canva that allows me to use the 'filter, crop, copy' etc options. I don't have access to the 'back' button like it's shown on your tutorial. Do you happen to know the reason for this? Thanks so much for the helpful video!

[@deeraph378]

same so i'm blocked

[@ldghunter8866]

THANKS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEA I WATCHED 100+VIDEOS AND THEY ALL DIDNT WORK YOUR A MASTER MAN!

[@ChannelEmpire]

Glad it helped!

[@darksnail9682]

Thanks for posting this Video. I just made my own customized channel art and I love it. Took me 20 Minutes! Now my channel feels like home:)

[@CortexZero]

Chose custom dimensions, made it the exact size it should be for KZbin, and it stays it's too small, even though the dimensions/pixels meet the requirements, so help.

[@PashenCartwright]

This video is the most helpful video about You Tube I have ever watched! Thank you so much for helping me! Need more videos!!

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks!

[@vromerone]

Thanks so much!! This is awesome!! BTW, I had no idea you had another channel. Good stuff!!!

[@brookedarosa9920]

Thank you so much! Before my channel art was just a solid blue, and now I feel that I made it much better. I did not want to spend $20 a month on these kind of things. So I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to this website. Thank you!

[@ChannelEmpire]

You're welcome, Brooke!

[@paulallenMacca]

How do i do the channel art for KZbin as it cuts off the heads of people even when i use the KZbin Template on Canva.

[@humhainhussaini2697]

hello i have something problem in my channel. there is something words. i do not know what is the meaning .< in order to select an item from your online storage , please sign in >. i have several time sign in but all in vain .please suggest me what should i do ?

[@LoveLynetteTan]

Thanks for the vid. My question is how did you customise all that social media links and icon at the lower right hand corner. Do you have a tutorial on that?

[@ChannelEmpire]

I don't have a tutorial yet but you can go to your channel and click the "Customize Channel" button and you'll see the Links section toward the bottom.

[@LoveLynetteTan]

@@ChannelEmpire thanks I got that figured out, cheers!

[@sundayowoicho3601]

I love the video. I found it really helpful. For the past few days now I have been trying to design a unique channel art but couldn't. Your video and the description made it possible for me to accomplish that. Thanks a lot. You are the best.

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks!

[@moneyvilla8371]

you resolve my channel art problem this is the easiest way I found . Thanks for creating this video.

[@YoungTylerTV]

yo can you use beats that say u can use for non profit use for background music and monetize your video? like i really need to know the answer for that, and same with songs.. please answer this itll help me in future videos of minei really need to know so if i do then like i wont get in trouble, because i see all these youtubers and reacters use other peoples vids or music in backgrounds and they have ads popping up so i could use the answer as soon as possible

[@ghostduckinvestigations9798]

If I have a part on my uploaded background thats more twards the top how do I get it in the safe zone?

[@consciousstories9189]

Ok, that was brilliant...after 1 hour of fighting with images you solved all my problems

[@bradleycomer8392]

Thanks a lot for your video...I have been working on a gaming channel and have been using photoshop like I have for many years but this is going to make my life so much easier...You can't believe how happy I am that you made this video....I only have one question though "CAN YOU SAY NEW SUBSCRIBER" LOL....Many thanks!

Please sir help me ,,,,my channel setting icon with subscribe button is not showing and I'm not able to customize my channel please bro help me how can I do this...and (edit channel art) setting also hide.i can't change my banner...?

[@jackattack8890]

I need help, When ever I click the camera to change my channel art, it says sign in, and when I click sign in, it opens the window and then crashes. Is there anyway to fix this?

[@JJanim8s]

[@meghanworkman6449]

Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I am not tech savvy at all, but I'm interested in starting to make videos on KZbin. This video has helped immensely to simplify the process of creating channel art.

[@NaturalHealthRemedies]

thanks mate very helpfful

[@skythomas7008]

Thank you I looked at many videos on this subject and couldn't figure it out. You explained it very simply and understandably. Now I have a new channel art for my channel. I've been trying very hard to better my channel as I've been trying to build it up over the past nearly two months. I do vlogs mostly but I do try to do other videos when I can. I've just been dealing with a terminally ill family member so I've not been doing as much as I usually would.

[@michaelcusick5792]

Really helpful - been struggling with this for a while!

[@takisfitness8646]

and what about the small thumbnail you added to the left corner of the image? thats for the image next to the subscribe button right? why dont you explain that?

[@caleighrosebud]

Thanks Andy! Canva worked for me, though I noticed they have changed some things around with the layout. Still pretty simple! I made mine in less than 15 mins while following your video.

[@HTKVlogs]

caleighrosebud did you have any problems with your image looking different once it was saved? I can't get mine to save the same way it looks on the website.

[@ShadyFilms]

i spent 3 to 5 days on how to create a channel art and finally i got the sloution....thank you so much....

[@ChannelEmpire]

you're welcome!

[@eggyt4]

THANK YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!! OMG i tried so many other ones but this one showed me thank you

[@stanley9334]

hi, o was wondering if you wanted to do a video on how to start up a gaming channel, I just thought I would be a good idea, since I'm interested in starting a KZbin gaming channel since I finished school recently and have 4 years to do videos. but I don't know the best/affordable items to buy

[@MusicLoverMe6974]

There is no small toolbar at the top of or anywhere near my picture therefore I can't find the "transparency" option that you mentioned. Anyone else having the same issue?

[@vivalasvegan6899]

Ian suing my own graphics photos and letters When done I dont know how to save ? How does one save ?

[@miriamchicanot389]

This was super helpful with starting my page out, thanks Andy ! Keep the videos coming :)

[@eliteentertainment8781]

[@ChannelEmpire]

[@yourtrueself4798]

Thank you for this great video. I don't see the toolbar with the Channel Art Template after following your instruction and upload the template. Any advice?

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

Thanks for the video. This was very helpful. You made it much easier than I thought it would be.

[@dragonwhore6820]

I can't do this when I click add channel art it says sign into google and I press ok and it says there's an error! Like what do I do can anyone help a sister out?

[@khaliqstoytube9932]

My mom searched for this and she said you helped her so much thank you

[@camicomet]

Hi, thank you for the video. I just have a quick question - my Canva does not have the download image for web option. It only allows me to download PNG, JPG and PDF. None of those files will be accepted by KZbin. Any advice?

[@camicomet]

NEVER MIND I GOT IT! Thank you.

[@ChannelEmpire]

thanks for watching

[@killaclips9396]

it says you have to pay to resize this does not put the channel art into youtube proportions. How do you change it?

[@ExcentricuEm06]

Mate, that was brilliant! So nice and simple!

[@ChannelEmpire]

Thanks for watching!

[@ExcentricuEm06]

You very much welcome and thank you in the same time, I'm a brainiac myself and that was massive, mainly because I'm a big fan of complexity displayed trough simplicity! Looking forward seeing more buddy.

[@ronksjourney6476]

Thank you so helpful! i have been struggling since yesterday to get this right.

[@SteenSmokeHouse]

[@brookehayden6136]

This helped SO much! Thank you! I tried everything and nothing worked and then I tried your video, and it worked like a charm. Thank you very much!

[@SIMMONIXcz]

Great video, thanks. But I have one problem: I downloaded my picture, but when I zoom it, it's bad quality... I tried jpg and png... Couldn't it be better? Thanks a lot.

[@ChannelEmpire]

Since KZbin's recommended resolution for channel art is so high (2560x1440) your background image must be near that high of a resolution too or it will be pixelated/blurry when you zoom in.

[@SIMMONIXcz]

Ok, i used some solid color background from page, so I don't know which resolution it had. But I'll look next time. Thanks

[@jonathanrios8316]

great video. Exactly what I was looking for.Thanks for the info and links

[@nafisabegum6301]
