Thumbnail Best Practices
YouTube thumbnails appear at various sizes — from tiny mobile suggestions (120×90) to large desktop previews. Design at 1280×720 but ensure text is readable even at 50% zoom. High contrast colors and large faces perform best. Keep file size under 2MB for faster upload processing.
