About the YouTube profile picture size
A YouTube channel profile picture is recommended at 800 by 800 pixels and is displayed as a circle. Upload a square and YouTube masks it, so corners are lost. Because the same avatar appears at 88px on your channel banner and much smaller beside every comment and video, a clean centred logo or face reads far better than something detailed. PNG keeps a logo crisp; JPG is fine for a photo.
Quick tips
- 01Upload an 800 by 800 square; it is masked to a circle.
- 02Keep the subject centred; corners are cropped by the circle mask.
- 03The same image shrinks next to your comments, so keep it simple.
