How To Easily Create A YouTube Thumbnail Image

Eric Evenstad • June 27, 2018

One of the easiest ways to get more people to watch your YouTube videos is to create custom YouTube thumbnail images.

A custom thumbnail image will make your video stand out from the other thousands of videos on YouTube and it'll make it look more enticing to potential viewers.

For some people, the thought of designing a thumbnail image might seem overwhelming, time-consuming, or costly... but I'm here to tell you that none of that is true.

Creating a custom YouTube thumbnail is an incredibly simple process even if you have zero design experience... and it's totally free.

In this video, I show you exactly how to create your own professional looking YouTube thumbnail in just a couple of minutes using Canva.com

If you're not familiar with www.canva.com , it's a free graphic design tool that is perfect for beginner designers.

What I really like about Canva is that they have tons of templates that you can use and it's drag-and-drop design, so you don't need any special skills to get started.

Another tool that I mention in the video is www.pexels.com -- this is a great site to find free stock photos, which might come in handy for your thumbnail background image.
