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!
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. 👍
You may not be around anymore, but your tutorials were priceless. I wasted precious time on dozens and then found you. I hope you're still around. Cheers and thank you.
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
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.
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!
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
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!
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!
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.
yo guys if you have a new channel and you dont grow fast, be patient! it might take months, but you might just be able to get a lot of subs! good luck on the yt journey!
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
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.
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.
To everyone starting RUclips Hello there! Hope you are having a great day! I'm just starting my RUclips channel and Yes it is tough But we can do this! Good luck to everyone!

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!
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!
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 am pretty new on RUclips and really have been thinking about creating a nice thumbnail. Thank you for sharing this! To all new YTbers. We can do this! Godspeed!
I just started two RUclips channels recently (as a matter of fact). My first channel, simply titled “Ben Koeberle,” is for book and film review videos, singing videos, and occasional vlog videos. My second channel, “Monologue Theatre,” is for videos of me performing monologues from famous works. I’m an aspiring actor and performer so I am using RUclips as an artistic and performing outlet. Being in quarantine has given me a lot of time to get my RUclips content up and off the ground.
I learned how to make my first thumb nail today - just used a photo I had to practice - very simple to do - fun as I am an artist and love to design images. Thanks Sean!
What app do u you use? I use Canva. Btw I give free shout-outs to other small youtubers so they can get more views and exposure. In return, you have to sub to me. It's a win-win.

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.

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

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.
Thank you for the video my thumbnails went from zero to one hundred real quick!
Me too! This makes a big difference

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
