Customising your thumbnail will help it to stand out and can get your brand out there. This makes it easier for your followers to relate the thumbnail to you and once you know how, you will wonder why you didn’t try it before! Tips for thumbnails Depending on which product you use to make thumbnail images there are certain tips that can help you to get the best possible image to attract new and old visitors. *Image size & resolution For Vimeo: If you are using Vimeo for your videos be aware that thumbnails can only be used in JPG/GIF/PNG. For YouTube: You will need to make the image as big as you possibly can because it will also be used as a way to preview for your viewers. The recommendations to make thumbnail this way are as follows: Set resolution to 1280x720 and have a minimum width of at least 640 pixels Use JPG, GIF, BMP and PNG as your image format Don’t forget to keep within the 2MB limit Where possible use a 16.9 aspect ratio. The reason for this is because it is the most commonly used for both the video and preview. *Make your text huge Remember that any font you have will be smaller once you make thumbnail from it. For this reason make your text as big as possible. *Easy to see and understand Don’t make thumbnail too complicated as you want your potential viewers to know exactly what it is at a glance. Ensure they can be easily seen and give information as to the video content. Disclaimer: This video description contains affiliate links.
