The details
YouTube renders channel profile pictures at 98×98 and crops them to a circle. Upload an 800×800 square (JPG, PNG, GIF or BMP — no animated GIFs) so it stays sharp in search, comments and Shorts.
Safe area: Cropped to a circle and rendered as small as 98×98 — center the subject and avoid fine detail or small text.
