YouTube End Screen Size
End screens sit on your 1920×1080 px (16:9) video frame during the last 5–20 seconds. Keep clickable elements inside the inner safe area so they aren't cut off on TV or mobile. You can add up to 4 elements.

Build it on a 1920×1080 frame
The end screen is an overlay on your standard 16:9 (1920×1080) video. Leave a calm, low-detail space in the last 5–20 seconds so the end-screen cards are readable over the footage.
Stay inside the safe area
TVs and some phones crop the outer edges. Keep every element — video, playlist, subscribe button, link — inset by roughly 90 px from each edge so nothing important is cut off.
Up to 4 elements
YouTube allows up to 4 end-screen elements. Don't overlap them with your lower-thirds or logo; reserve clear zones for the cards when you edit the final 20 seconds.
