YouTube End Screen Resizer
The last 5 to 20 seconds of your video are prime real estate for end screens. YouTube lets you add subscribe buttons, video recommendations, playlist links, and external links during this window. End screen elements overlay your video, so you need to design your video outro to accommodate them. Plan your end screen layout at 1280x720 pixels to ensure clickable elements are positioned correctly and your background complements rather than competes with the overlays.

Strategic Element Placement
YouTube offers four end screen element types: video or playlist, subscribe button, channel, and link. Position these where they are easy to tap on mobile without overlapping each other or critical video content. The 1280x720 template lets you plan exact placement. Most successful end screens use a clean background with subscribe button on one side and a video recommendation on the other.
Design Your Outro Segment
The best end screens work with a dedicated outro segment. Create a 15 to 20 second clip at 1280x720 with your branding, background music, and designated spaces for end screen elements. This creates a professional, consistent look across all your videos. Viewers learn to expect your outro and engage with the calls to action because the layout is familiar.
Track End Screen Performance
YouTube Studio reports performance for end screen elements. Compare layouts and element combinations to see what works for your audience; a correctly sized background supports a clear layout but does not guarantee additional clicks.
