[Download] New YouTube Partner Channel Template (PSD) (Updated: 12/9/2011)

Categories: Downloads, YouTube

December 2011 update: Here is the updated YouTube partner channel template for December 2011.

Note: YouTube doesn’t require you to upload a separate header anymore, just one single background image. Therefore, in the template, you can just turn the header layer off or delete it altogether. Just make sure your top links are included within the header area. Image maps for the header can be created with this simple image map tool.

Upon popular request, I have created a simple walk-through video for this template.

Some Mac users using Safari/Chrome have reported issues with the download. If the download doesn’t work for you, either try another browser or send me a message on Twitter with your email address and I’ll send it to you directly. Alternatively, you may contact me via the contact button (top right) as well.

Click the bird, tweet, and the download button will activate.

This “tweet to download” system is a small way for me to help promote my website. However, if you’d rather not tweet out this link or don’t have a Twitter account, feel free to email me using the contact form (orange button in the upper right) and I will email the template(s) to you.

The old template is still available for download below. I also have a freshly updated 2011 new Twitter template available for download for those interested.

Old YouTube Template

This is the old YouTube template but I am leaving it here for download since some users are still using the old layout.

For convenience, I matched the layer names to the titles that YouTube uses in its channel design options.

To change the colors of any of the layers, what I usually do is simply apply a color overlay to that layer (Double-click the layer > Color Overlay).

      • seanquickscopez

        how do I put it onto my youtube channel?

        • http://crackpixels.com Keebs

          After you make the changes you want using the template, you would copy over the settings and upload the background and sliced header design. When I get some time, I will try and put together and simple video walk-through.

    Thanks for the template, but I’m not a partner (yet). Do you have a template for the rest of us? :)

    • http://keebs.com Keebs

      You can use the same template but just shift the body layer up so that it’s 20px from the top.

    Thanks dude, one question… What are the best export settings in photoshop so the file will be below 1mb? YouTube won’t let me upload bigger files. Thanks in advance!

      Usually, I save for web as PNG-24 and it works fine for YT’s file size limits. For backgrounds with heavy graphics, I’d probably compress it even further with an image optimizer.

    Hey Keebs :)

    thanks for this! much appreciated. Is this the latest latest partner layout? i’ve seen ones now where the banner is the background…its all one image?

    thx!

      This template has the header layer included, but now, since you basically can just upload one background image to YouTube, you can just turn off the header layer or delete it altogether.

  • Joannesalonger

    i upload the template but the header is behind the youtube area

    • http://keebs.com Keebs

      You can turn the header layer off before uploading.
