Sponsor and Ad Graphics for YouTube
Sponsor graphics have to read as part of your video rather than an interruption. The ones that work carry the partner mark, the offer and the code in your own styling, so the segment still looks like your channel.
This is also the shelf where disclosure matters. A paid promotion has to be declared, and a graphic that says so plainly at the start of the segment does the job better than a line buried in the description — it is visible to the viewer at the moment it is relevant, which is what disclosure is for.
The rest of the shelf covers what a sponsored segment actually needs: an intro card, a lower third for the partner, a discount code that stays on screen long enough to be typed, a countdown for a limited offer, and a bumper to close the segment and hand the video back to itself.
Codes and prices are text layers, so one template serves every sponsor you work with. The partner mark can be dropped in as an image without redrawing the card around it.
Every template here is free to open, free to change and free to watch back, with no account needed to browse. Exporting the finished file costs $5 once for that project, or a plan covers every export.

Using ad & sponsor graphics
- How long should a discount code stay on screen?
- At least five seconds, and longer if it is more than a few characters. A viewer has to notice it, pause or memorise it, and act — a code that flashes past is a code nobody uses.
- Where does the disclosure go?
- At the start of the sponsored segment, on screen, where a viewer will see it without looking for it. Add it in the description as well, but the on-screen version is the one that reaches the person actually watching.
- Can I match a sponsor's brand colours?
- Yes — every fill, gradient and border is a property rather than a baked pixel, so a card can carry a partner's palette while keeping your own typography and timing.
- How do I get the graphic into my edit?
- Export with a transparent background and drop it on a track over your footage in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro or CapCut. Nothing to install and no After Effects: the alpha channel is in the file, so the card sits over the shot and the disclosure stays legible against whatever is behind it.
