How to make a great YouTube thumbnail?
-
1. Keep design simple
Simplify your thumbnail by not putting too many elements on it to confuse people. Clear design makes people want to stay and figure out what you're going to say.
-
2. Use inviting colors
Nothing attracts people more than vivid, eye-catching color. Bright or contrasting colors stand out more in people's field of vision and can have a powerful effect on emotions.
-
3. Put a brief & concise title
A thumbnail is small on mobile devices so try to accurately convey what your video is about in just a few short words, and add graphic or larger font keywords to highlight the main point.

4. Feature your face or product in thumbnail
Including a close-up of your subject is a great way for potential viewers to feel a closer connection. Vivipic's Background Remover with smart editor let you add shadows & outlines around your subject
