Compress YouTube channel art to fit the 6MB upload limit
YouTube channel art wants 2560x1440 and refuses anything over 6MB. When a design export trips that limit, the usual advice is to shrink the dimensions — which is exactly how you lose the safe area for TV and desktop. Compress the file at full size instead and keep every layout crop looking clean.
