Try Felvero freeHow does the thumbnail preview work?
Add your thumbnail and title. You see them the way YouTube shows them: in the home feed, in search, in the small Up next list and on a phone, next to other videos, in light or dark mode.
Is my thumbnail uploaded?
No. The image stays in your browser and is never sent anywhere. Close the tab and it's gone.
What size should a YouTube thumbnail be?
1280×720 pixels (16:9), under 2 MB, as JPG, PNG or WebP. Design it to be read at the smallest size too: in the Up next list it's shown only about 168 pixels wide.
What makes a thumbnail stand out?
One clear subject, a face with a readable emotion, strong contrast with the feed around it and at most three or four big words that add to the title instead of repeating it. Check it in dark mode: many viewers use it.
Why does my title get cut off?
YouTube shows about two lines. Titles over roughly 60–70 characters are often cut in search and on phones, so keep the important words at the start.
Can Felvero help with the title too?
Yes: try the free YouTube title generator for ten title ideas. In Felvero you also get scripts, a teleprompter over your webcam and an automatic edit.
