How to Make a Thumbnail for YouTube Videos? YouTube thumbnails are an incredibly important element of your video optimization. One of the most important aspects to getting a Youtube video to rank in search or be suggested in the algorithm is your CTR or Click-through rate, this means you need an amazing thumbnail to make people click your videos! When it comes to making a good Youtube Thumbnail, it is important to remember to keep it simple, and that means it is so important to simplify them down as much as possible. My three major rules of a good simple thumbnail. 1. A clear simple background 2. Only 3 major elements, such as Face, Visuals, and text. 3. Remove any visuals that don’t help tell the story of the video Don't forget that Youtube Thumbnails end up much smaller when uploaded, so the larger and simpler you can make your Thumbnails the better they'll perform meaning a higher Click-through rate and more views in general.
