One of the easiest and best programs to use for thumbnails is Microsoft PowerPoint! PowerPoint has a great background removal tool that is super easy to use! I use powerpoint for all of my thumbnails and I think they turn out great!
Thanks for the tip my friend.
Thank you
Thank you my fellow human
thanks for the tip
Thanks bro i will try it
I used Canva for my thumbnail, but adding Saturation and Sharpening tool is a piece of great advice taken from the video. Hats off! Love from a Pakistani RUclipsr.
Been trying forever to make half decent thumbnails in Photoshop and not really gotten anywhere. In 5 minutes of using Canva I've already managed to make better looking thumbnails than I've managed to make in the past 2 years of using Photoshop. 😂
The whole process is so much quicker too. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Checked out your channel.....your thumbnails are dope!!
Photoshop is great tho if you’re good at it
Tipharot Well photoshop requires experience. You can't just go in and expect a thumbnail to already be made
Maybe you'll start using photoshop again when you watch my tutorials
yeah... photoshop is really complicated.
I just started my RUclips channel and this was A LOT of help! Thank You.

I've always loved using canva for my thumbnails and can't believe I didn't find it even sooner! Although that said, I didn't realise there were sharpening or saturation tools within the filter function so thank you!
Same here. I wish that Canva provided tutorials about all of it's features.

According to RUclips: The best size for RUclips thumbnail images is 1280 x 720 pixels.
That is true
I'm just gonna say some of my videos not the thumbnails my videos are 3840 x 2160 pixels
I use 1920x1080 because 1280x720 is a bit blurry for me.

Hello Sean, just want to thank you for this amazing tip!
I'm going through a process of bringing my own channel back to life again, since it has been wandering on its own for 3 years, and I'm now giving a proper thumbnail for my videos. It's too early yet to say if this is going to give them a boost in views, but for me they definitely look way better now.
Keep smashing with good helpful videos!
I’ve been using Canva but I had no idea about changing the saturation and sharpness in the program. Thanks!
I'm using an app that has tons of options including saturation and clarity. Check video on PicMonkey. It just added a ton of enhancements.
Cant thank you enough for this video! Very useful and simple tips, no beating around the bush no wasting time. Very very helpful.
This channel is a one stop shop for my questions! Thanks.
Yes very resourceful channel
Many thanks for the thumbnail tips & tutorial. Subscribed!

Dimensions NEED to be 1280 × 720 to do any type of customization or it will be to BIG!
Ryland Brown thank you so much! I almost pulled my hair out!
Ryland Brown iinndjdjsoajak
Yup! Those dimensions work much better on mine too
I find using JPEG seems to work or compress it, as you no longer need all the edited details of the picture.
It makes little to no difference in visuals I find
Thanks
Honestly, thank you! 🙏🏼 I have such a hard time with this! Really appreciate it man!

This video was extremely helpful. After watching this today I created 5 Thumbnails for my most recent videos that I uploaded and each and every one of them has increased in view count
They really do make a difference
Genius for making this video
Thanks for this video! I love how my latest thumbnail turned out!
Thank you, I have been using Snapseed and I think our thumbnails are pretty good, but I feel limited with that app after editing the picture. I know I need to work on the thumbnails. Make them even better.
I just uploaded a video on how to make super cool thumbnails in minutes on your phone. The app already has RUclips templates pre-loaded for thumbnails and banners. Headed to look at your thumbnails right now.
I can’t wait to start my journey this is something I have wanted to do since I was little there is nothing better than putting a smile on another’s face
This video was SOOO helpful and straight to the point. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Love your vids! Super helpful. Also, recently caught your episode of the Skinny Confidential. Such valuable info. Thank you sharing!

I've been using GIMP for my thumbnails, its a free photo manipulation software. I find adding drop shadow to the text makes it look better. After watching this video I'll be boosting my saturation by 30% to see if that helps.
This is the ABSOLUTE BEST WEBSITE OUT THERE, IT AUTO SAVES YOUR PREVIOUS THUMBNAILS SO YOU CAN COME BACK AND MAKE SURE YOUR FONTS ARE CONSISTENT? DAMNNNN
Will start using this! I think this is 1 issue I have on my channel, I need better Thumbnails.
Wow thanks! Gonna try this out now. Thumbnails are as important as the video :)
Awesome video and very helpful. Instantly improved my thumbnails in just minutes. Thank you 🙏 🔥
I agree that a 'WoW Thumbnail' can make all the difference in getting views. But after that it is all about the quality and content of your videos. Thank a lot. Very useful.
Great video! I recommend doing an update to get another 2 million views! The whole canva.com backend has changed, it was a bit tough to get follow your instructions. The video was still great though. Keep up the great work!
The Elysium Times it’s easier to make because they have a RUclips thumbnail preset
@@VashtiPerry Yeah, but it's less resolution than what he specifies, so I wanted to do a custom one...
@@VashtiPerry less pixels though :(( hehe

Ah thank you! I was using a site called pixlr.com and I couldn't figure out how to get my pic the right size and stay in proportion. Canva looks like it will work better! Thanks!
Miss Mills YAAAAAY PIXLR USER!!! I LUV PIXLER
Miss Mills how did u upload it cause I'm having trouble with the size
Well if you use canva all you have to do is type in is 1280 width and 720 tall in the top right corner of the editor and it will resize the photo without distorting it. Hope that helps!
Miss Mills it doesn't show anything on the top right corner ;( sorry to bother!

VERY TRUE But apparently, no one has time to read on the internet.
umm........ not being mean but work on your spelling aswell....... because too is spelt too not to ok? wasn't being mean though
and in which i suck
I currently make my thumbnails (and channel art) in GIMP.
DeadSockPuppet nice but I recommend less words in the thumbnail cause it looks like a full sentence lol
Could you make a tutorial for that please?
It looks good, dont worry about the text it makes your eye catch it more. You spend more time looking at each thumbnail
Your thumbnails are great!
within the next week ill have uploaded my first video essay about Spider-Man and i just made an amazing thumbnail using CANVA, thank you so much, great tutorial!
why does it keep saying your file is not an image or is too big!!
hey don't call people fools that's mean!!!
How did I not know about this channel (I’m asking myself...lol)??
Thank u so much for this detailed video. #NewSubie 🙂
Hi! Loved this tutorial. EXACTLY what I hoped to learn. Question. Why Canva over Adobe Spark?
I use adobe spark and have used canva as well. I really enjoy adobe spark but maybe canva is just a more well known name?
@@Shmojoe14 Thanks for the feedback!
New youtubers. You are not alone!!! Let’s get started
Hi my file size is to big for youtubes thumnale recomended
CHANGE IT IN LOWER quality in canva. press download and then lowe quality video
Try 1280x720.
So the thumbnail has to be made from a computer? Not a phone?
