FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What size should podcast video thumbnails be?
YouTube podcast videos need 1280x720 pixels in 16:9 ratio. The editor exports at this size automatically, so your thumbnails upload without dimension errors.
Should I include my guest's face or just text?
Always include faces for interview podcasts. Thumbnails with guest headshots get significantly higher click-through rates than text-only designs. Faces create immediate connection and credibility.
How do I maintain brand consistency across episodes?
Create one design with your logo, colors, and fonts in place. Reuse it for each episode by just changing the guest photo and episode title. This keeps your show recognizable.
Can I use this for video podcasts on YouTube?
Yes. The editor exports in HD which is perfect for YouTube video podcasts. Upload your guest photos, add episode info, and export ready-to-upload thumbnails.
Is this podcast thumbnail creator free to use?
You can try Thumbnail Studioo free for 3 days with full access to all AI tools and editing features. No watermarks on any exports during the trial. Start your 3-day trial.
How long does it take to create a podcast thumbnail?
Once you have a template set up, each new episode takes about 2-5 minutes. Just swap the guest photo, update the episode title, and export. The first template takes longer to design.
