Best Practices
Tips for Making Great Thumbnails
Fix one thing at a time. Focus on text clarity first, then background, then colors. Tackling one issue at a time gives better results.
Use bright bold colors. Bright red, yellow, blue, and green grab attention. Use the color adjustment tools to boost vibrancy.
Make text BIG. Increase font size until it's clearly readable on a phone screen. If you can't read it on mobile, make it bigger.
Edit faces to show emotion. Use face swap or adjust lighting to make expressions pop. Happy, surprised, or curious faces get more clicks.
Preview on mobile before exporting. Check how your edits look on a phone. Most people browse on mobile, so test at small size.
Common Mistakes
What to Avoid
Using tiny text that nobody can read. Remember - lots of people watch on phones with small screens.
Cramming too many things into one thumbnail. Pick one main focus and stick with it.
Choosing dark or muddy colors that blend together. Use contrast so things stand out clearly.
Leaving faces blurry or cut off. Faces are important - make sure they're sharp and fully visible.
Never testing how your thumbnail looks when it's small. What looks good big might not work when it's tiny.
Pro Tips
Insider Secrets
Add a face with a surprised or curious expression. It makes people wonder what's going on and want to click.
Use arrows or circles to point at the most important part of your thumbnail. It guides people's eyes.
Keep your text to 3-5 words maximum. Short text is easier to read and more powerful.
Stick with the same style for all your thumbnails. People will start recognizing your content instantly.
Save 3-4 different versions and compare them. Pick the one that grabs your attention fastest.
