Tips

  • Use bold, large text with a contrasting stroke color — thumbnails are viewed at small sizes.
  • Faces with expressive emotions in thumbnails consistently outperform text-only designs.
  • Keep text to 3-5 words max — your thumbnail must be readable at 160x90 pixels.
  • Use bright, saturated colors — they stand out in YouTube's white and dark interfaces.
