#FAQ

Thumbnail maker questions

What size is a YouTube thumbnail?

The recommended size is 1280x720 pixels (16:9), with a minimum width of 640 pixels and a file size under 2 MB. The maker exports exactly 1280x720 as a JPG or PNG.

Is it really free, and is my image uploaded?

It is free and needs no account. Your image is processed inside your browser and never leaves your computer.

How do I make a thumbnail that gets clicked?

Use very few words (two or three), big letters, high contrast and one clear subject. The templates put the headline on one side and your image on the other, and the "Make it pop" slider boosts contrast and color in your picture.

Can I use it for Twitch, Kick or TikTok?

Yes. The 16:9 format also works for Twitch stream previews, Kick and Discord announcements.

Can I change the colors and the design?

Yes. Choose one of the six designs and any accent colors; the background is recolored to match.

Can you design my thumbnails for me?

Yes. We create thumbnails, banners and full channel branding for streamers and creators. Send us your idea and we will reply with a proposal.
