Custom Thumbnail

[TimChan]

Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone could direct me to a page or post where it teaches you how to make the correct thumbnail for your video as in the right size (###x###) would be appropriate for the video thumbnail. I tried to google it and I got a lot of conflicting results and vary numbers. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

-_- why did this not come up on search? lol. Thanks!

A appropriate google search would be 'Youtube Custom Thumbnail Dimensions'
But good luck!

If it is 720p make sure its 1280x720

1280x720 is what I use and so far, it's looking good.
