Steps
- Export the final banner file.
- Check width, height, aspect ratio, file size, and closest banner target.
- Confirm the destination: YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, website header, or Open Graph.
- Keep important text, logos, faces, product screenshots, and calls to action near the center.
- Use a platform safe-area guide when the crop behavior is known.
- Re-export separate platform-specific banners when one file does not fit every crop.

Common Failure Pattern
A banner can match the recommended width and height but still crop badly because important content sits outside the visible area on another device.
Check dimensions first. Then check crop risk.
