How to create channel banner on iphone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Channel banners are an integral part of iPhone marketing.
While those on the App Store are 1024 pixels in height and width, those on YouTube are usually 2560 pixels in height and width.
So, while you may have a great banner for the App Store, it doesn’t look as good on YouTube.

• The channel banner on iPhone is created to give viewers an idea about the type of content to expect on the channel.
• The channel banner on the iPhone 11 is bigger in size and horizontally oriented.
• You can create a channel banner using an iOS device or by using another channel creator.
