YouTube Thumbnail Border Template — Size 16:9 With Title

Use this Kapwing thumbnail template to make a custom thumbnail for any YouTube video. The 16:9 aspect ratio is the optimal thumbnail size to ensure that your viewers can gauge the correct amount of information about your video before they press play, and the built-in border and Title generator will help show you exactly what your viewers will see before they press play. Just drop in a screenshot from your video, input your own title or teaser text, and choose a custom font, color, outline, and style for a creative thumbnail that stands out in people's YouTube feeds. Upload the thumbnail cover image to YouTube when you publish your video. For More instructions on creating great thumbnails, check out this resource on creating YouTube thumbnail images .
