Yeah the thumbnail is very important! When I was making YouTube videos, the thumbnail drew in people more than the title and I even experimented with that a little bit. Sure enough a decent thumbnail got more views on something than the content.

There are a lot of things to think about with a thumbnail. The overall design/theme of corpse. I believe they should be rectangular and landscape orientation, so dimensions the right are valuable. I do all of mine above 4K quality 4800x2700, file sizes are giant though (thankful for that cloud storage). If the file size thing is an issue, resolution can be lowered. I wouldn’t go much lower than 1280x720 though.
Ah damn that’s crazy 4K resolution lol. I don’t know if my hard drive would like that too much! The images end up looking pretty good despite it being mobile for your thumbnails so that’s good. I’m always worried that an image would look crappy on mobile since that’s how most people consume it.

My PSDs are usually over 1GB for each thumbnail 🥹😅 there’s certainly much need for that high of resolution, especially with most people being on mobile. However, after I’ve seen that clarity, I can’t go back.
