Adding or Changing Your Channel's Image or Cover Photo

A recognizable avatar and a cover that says what the channel is about do more for a first impression than any description.

Upload or replace an image

  • Go to the channel you want to update and click Settings.

  • Open the Channel info tab.

  • The first two fields are Channel image and Cover image.

  • Click Upload and choose a file. Uploading a new one replaces the old image — you don't need to delete it first.

  • Save your changes.

To swap the cover quickly, you can also use the camera button on the cover itself on your channel page.

What the files need to be

  • Channel image: 400x400px, up to 30MB, in PNG, JPG, JPEG or WebP.

  • Cover image: 1200x400px, up to 30MB, in PNG, JPG, JPEG or WebP.

If an upload fails, the file is almost always too large or in another format — check those two first.
