What size should a YouTube logo be?

Upload your profile picture at 800 x 800 px (JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP, max 15 MB). It displays as a circle at 98 x 98 px across YouTube. For channel banners, upload at 2560 x 1440 px and keep all text and logos within the 1546 x 423 px center safe area.

Can I make a YouTube logo for free?

The YouTube logo maker runs on AI credits. Credit costs display when you browse the model selection. Visit our pricing page for information on subscription plans and AI credit options.

How do I add my YouTube logo as a watermark to my videos?

Upload your logo PNG to the video editor and place it in a corner of the frame. Reduce the opacity to around 50–70% so it's visible without distracting from your content. Set it to appear for the full duration of the video or at key moments. You can save your logo to a Brand Kit, so you don’t have to upload it manually every time.

What makes a good YouTube channel logo?

A good YouTube logo works at small sizes because it will appear as a small circle next to comments, in search results, and on mobile. Strong YouTube logos typically: - Use a bold, simple mark or wordmark that reads clearly at 98px - Have high contrast so they're visible on both light and dark backgrounds - Reflect the channel's niche and personality at a glance - Use 1–2 colors maximum for visual clarity

Can I use my YouTube logo on other platforms?

Yes. A YouTube logo makes a strong social media profile picture across Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, and LinkedIn. Download the PNG and upload it to any platform. For animated versions, export as a GIF for use in email signatures and digital bios, or as a short video clip for use in Instagram Reels or TikTok intro sequences.

YouTube logo maker: Generate and animate in one place

A YouTube logo tells viewers what your channel is about before they watch a single video. Use the AI logo generator to create a channel logo from a text prompt. Describe your niche, your channel name, and your visual style. Then bring your YouTube logo into the editor to animate it, add it as a watermark to your videos, or build it into a YouTube intro that plays before every video.

How to make a YouTube logo online:

Step 01

Generate your channel logo with AI

Open the AI logo generator and describe your YouTube channel: your channel name, content niche (gaming, cooking, finance, beauty, fitness), preferred style, and colors. The generator produces multiple logo options from your description. Click ‘Edit image’ to refine and regenerate until you have a logo that represents your channel.

Step 02

Animate your YouTube logo

Upload your logo to the editor and add an animation effect — fade in, zoom, bounce, or a custom entrance. Set the duration, position it for the intro, and adjust timing to match your opening music or voiceover. Your animated YouTube logo is ready to use as a standalone intro clip or as a consistent watermark.

Step 03

Apply your logo across all your video content

Save your logo to the Brand Kit so it's available across every project without re-uploading. Add it as a watermark on every video, use it in your end screen, or export it as a standalone animated intro clip to drop at the start of every upload.

AI YouTube logos designed for your niche

A gaming channel logo looks nothing like a finance channel logo. The AI logo generator responds to the specifics of your prompt — your niche, channel name, and visual references — and produces options that match your content. Describe your channel, generate your options, and pick the logo that fits. Watermark-free exports are available on paid plans.

Animated YouTube intros built around your logo

A static logo in your intro doesn't make an impression. An animated one does. Upload your YouTube logo, add motion, and export it as a short intro clip that opens every video. Or use the YouTube intro maker to build a full branded intro sequence with your logo, channel name, and a music bed. Either way, your channel looks consistent and considered from the first frame.

From YouTube logo to a fully branded channel

Save your logo, fonts, and brand colors to a Brand Kit so every video you publish carries the same visual language — from the intro to the end screen to the dynamic subtitles that keep viewers watching. For creators who publish on a schedule, consistent branding compounds. Every video reinforces the same visual identity, making the channel recognizable faster.
