GTA 6 YouTube banner
GTA 6 YouTube banner: a GTA 6 style channel banner
YouTube crops a banner differently on TV, desktop and phone, so the people must sit small in the middle band. Ask for that, plus plain sky above and plain sand below. From a photo of three friends we got exactly that layout at 2K, with the passer-by removed. Unofficial and not affiliated with Rockstar Games.
Every edit needs a paid plan. Plans start at $19/month.
How do I make a GTA 6 style YouTube banner?
- 01
Upload a clear photo
One person in focus works best. Whatever makes you recognisable (hair colour, beard, glasses, freckles) should be easy to see, because the ink style flattens fine detail.
- 02
Keep everyone small and centred
“Small and centred in the middle band”, with plain sky above and plain sand below for the crop.
- 03
Generate 16:9 at 2K
Then upload at 2560 × 1440 and check the safe area preview in YouTube Studio.
A crew banner
Every result starts from a synthetic photo or from a text prompt alone. Open “Prompt we ran” under a result for the exact prompt, or copy the prompt card and swap in your own details.
1.Three friends in the safe area
The three friends small and centred on a beach promenade, palms and the sunset reaching left and right, plain bands above and below. Jacket, raincoat, glasses and hoodie kept; the faces are small at this size, as banners need.
Prompt we ran
Make a wide YouTube channel banner from this photo in the style of Grand Theft Auto VI key art: a hand-painted digital illustration with bold black ink outlines, cel-shaded colours and hard-edged shadows, in a hot sun-bleached palette of magenta, coral, orange and turquoise. The three friends small and centred in the middle band, a beach promenade, palm trees and a sunset stretching to the left and right, and plain sky above and plain sand below them. Keep all three: the bearded man in the navy jacket, the woman with short curly black hair in the yellow raincoat and the man with glasses in the grey hoodie. Leave out the passer-by. No text or logos.
Suggested model: Nano Banana 2.1
Keep it recognisable, and keep it yours
- Name what must stay: hair colour, beard, glasses, eye colour and clothes. What we named stayed in our runs; what we did not name could change.
- Expect the ink lines to sharpen faces and add a few years. GPT Image 2.5 drew softer faces where we compared it.
- Check what the model added: extra people, signs with invented words, real car badges. Ask again with “no text, logos or brand badges”.
- Do not add the game’s logo, title or characters, and do not present a result as official artwork.
- Only restyle photos of yourself or of people who agreed. An illustration of a real person is still that person.
Which model to use
Every model runs in the same app and draws from the same credits. The table shows web app prices; the credits under each result are what that API run was charged.
| Model | Credits | On Starter | Use it for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nano Banana 2.11K | 9 | $0.171 | Most results on these pages: holds the ink outlines and the palette. 14 credits at 2K for wallpapers and banners. |
| GPT Image 2.5high quality | 11 | $0.209 | The buttons on these pages open it with Detail on, which keeps the price and takes about twice as long. Softer, more painterly faces; our comparison runs, made with Detail off, are on the profile picture, portrait and character portrait pages. |
| Muse Imageone size, about 2.5 MP | 2 | $0.038 | The cheapest way to try a prompt before you spend more. |

Frequently asked questions
What size is a YouTube banner?
2560 × 1440, with a central safe area of about 1546 × 423 that every device shows. Keep faces and text inside it.
Where do I add my channel name?
Add it in an editor inside the safe area, or generate it with the logo guide’s neon-sign prompt.
Is this an official GTA 6 tool?
No. It is an unofficial, fan-style look made with general image models from a prompt. AI Media Studio is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Rockstar Games or Take-Two Interactive. Grand Theft Auto and GTA are their trademarks, named here only to describe an art style. Leave the game’s logo, title and characters out of what you make.
Is there a GTA 6 button or preset?
Yes. The GTA 6 preset library opens Studio with an editable image or video prompt and the model already picked. The buttons on this page open the image composer with the look typed in, and you add what must stay. The prompts on this page are the ones we ran.
How much does it cost? Is there a free option?
One picture costs 2 credits on Muse Image, 9 on Nano Banana 2.1 at 1K or 11 on GPT Image 2.5 in the web app. AI Media Studio has no free tier. Every edit needs a paid plan. Plans start at $19/month.
