Design tips for YouTube on iPad Pro 12.9"
- •Anchor to the center. YouTube crops differently on iPad Pro 12.9" than on desktop — centering keeps your headline, logo, or CTA visible everywhere.
- •Avoid the chrome. Status bar, Dynamic Island, and profile-picture overlays are fixed positions on iPad Pro 12.9" — design around them, not under them.
- •Export at 2×. Save at 5120×2880px so the image looks crisp on retina iPad Pro 12.9" screens.
- •Audit before posting. A 90-second Better Header audit shows you exactly what gets cut off on iPad Pro 12.9" and every other supported device.
