Creating eye-catching thumbnails is essential for increasing your video's click-through rate and views. Here are some tips:
Remember that the perfect thumbnail combined with a compelling title can significantly increase your video's performance.
The recommended YouTube thumbnail size is 1280×720 pixels (16:9 aspect ratio) with a minimum width of 640 pixels. Keep important elements centered as thumbnails may be cropped differently across devices. File size should be under 2MB, and YouTube accepts JPG, GIF, or PNG formats.
When designing thumbnails, remember that they'll be viewed at different sizes - from large desktop displays to tiny mobile screens. Test your thumbnails at various scales to ensure they remain effective regardless of display size.
