What Is YouTube Thumbnail Previewer?
Preview how your YouTube thumbnail will look in search results and feeds.
YouTube thumbnails are the #1 factor in click-through rate (CTR), which directly influences YouTube's recommendation algorithm. The ideal thumbnail is 1280×720px (16:9 ratio), under 2MB, and uses high-contrast colors, readable text at small sizes, and a human face with expressive emotion (proven to increase clicks by up to 30%). Preview at multiple sizes before uploading.
