An
intriguing thumbnail is like an incredible window display — it catches onlookers’ attention and invites them in. To create a completely customized YouTube thumbnail, you’ll first need to choose a basic image editing software or specialized tools like Kapwing’s
YouTube Thumbnail Maker. Craft a high-quality thumbnail by uploading your desired images (e.g., your face, a frame from your video, or other relevant photo) and adding text, graphics, and colors. Finally, upload your new thumbnail in YouTube Studio and make adjustments as needed.
