FAQ

What size should the thumbnail file be?

1280×720, under 2 MB, JPG or PNG. YouTube crops slightly on some surfaces — keep faces and text away from the edges.

Why does my text look fine here but tiny on mobile?

Mobile Home is small. If you cannot read the title words on the phone frame, simplify the artwork.

Does this upload my image to a server?

No. The preview stays in the browser.
