What is the ideal size for a YouTube profile picture?

Use a square photo that is 800px by 800px. YouTube profile pictures can be JPG, GIF, BMP, or PNG format, and should be no larger than 4 MB. Use the Resize tool in Adobe Express to enter in your specific size, and then choose your preferred file format when you’re ready to download it.

How do I remove the background from a photo I want to use for my profile picture?

Upload your photo to your project, then tap or click on the image and choose Remove Background. Our intuitive tool will remove the background so you can place your subject over new creative backgrounds or wallpapers.
