Use 1280x720 Resolution

YouTube recommends 1280x720 pixels for thumbnails. This is the standard size that looks good on all devices.

YouTube may compress thumbnails larger than 2 MB. Export at quality 80 to keep the file size under this limit.

Thumbnails compete for attention in a grid. High contrast colors and readable text at small sizes work best.
