Thumbnails matter. First impression for video content.
Elements
- Clear, readable text (3-5 words max)
- Faces perform well (yours or relevant)
- High contrast
- Consistent style across videos
Tools
Canva. Photoshop. Or thumbnail-specific tools. Templates save time.
A/B Testing
Try different thumbnails on key videos. See what gets more clicks. Apply learnings.
Branding
Same font, colors, style. Build recognition. "That's a [your name] video."
