Thumbnail tips that work
- Keep it to 3–5 words. Use Thumbnail Ideas for headline concepts.
- Keep text away from the bottom-right corner — YouTube's video length badge covers it (turn on “Timestamp area”).
- Use Preview to check readability at the small sizes viewers actually see.
- Faces with clear emotion and high contrast colours stand out in the feed.
Saving & exporting
- Save keeps the design in this browser; open it again from My designs.
- Export file downloads a backup (.csa.json) you can import on another device.
- JPG files are smaller; PNG keeps every detail. YouTube accepts both up to 2 MB.
- Your work is also auto-saved as a draft you can restore next time.
