Adobe Express includes a free YouTube banner maker with ready-sized channel art templates for gaming, vlogs, education, music and business channels. You can customize a template or start from scratch, then use Adobe’s Firefly AI to generate custom artwork for your banner.
Key features include:
- Ready-sized YouTube banner templates
- Firefly AI to generate images, text effects and fills
- Quick resizing into thumbnails and social banners
- Free background removal and photo editing
- Adobe Stock images and Adobe Fonts
- Brand kits for logos, colors and fonts on Premium
- Content Scheduler for promoting videos on social
Because it comes from Adobe, work moves easily between Adobe Express, Photoshop and Premiere Pro.
The free plan is permanent, with 100,000+ templates and over a million stock assets. Premium, at roughly $9.99 per month in the U.S., unlocks the full template and stock libraries, brand kits and 250 monthly Firefly generative credits, with a 30-day free trial available.
Some templates and features are Premium-only. For Adobe users creating channel art with custom AI imagery, though, Adobe Express is an excellent choice.
