Resize to YT Profile Photo

This lesson is part of Web Developer Tools · All levels

Summary

YouTube profile photos are displayed as a circle with a reference size of 800 x 800 pixels. Since the logo or face appears small under the video and in the channel list, it should be simple and easily recognizable. Contrasting background helps to keep images visible in light and dark themes. Use a square to cut the circle without cutting the important elements.
