FAQ - Thumbnail Design

Here you can find answers for the most common questions around Thumbnail Design.

Why do I need a thumbnail?

The thumbnail gives a first impression of the web content. It attracts the interest of the respective target group and generates clicks. It is also user-friendly, as content can be grasped more quickly by humans via images and graphics.

The quality and effectiveness of the design has a great influence on the success of a YouTube channel or other platform. So, it's worth investing in a high-quality design to capture viewers' interest and increase engagement.

Where can I use thumbnails?

Thumbnails can be used in various places to attract attention and interest in a visual way (e.g. YouTube or your online shop).

What makes a good thumbnail?

A good thumbnail usually has the following features:

1. Eye-catching design: The thumbnail should be eye-catching and appealing to attract viewers' attention.

2. Relevance: The thumbnail should reflect the content of the video and give the viewer an idea of what to expect.

3. Clarity: The thumbnail should be clear and easy to understand so that the viewer immediately recognizes what it is about.

4. Contrast: The thumbnail should have a high contrast to improve readability and make the image stand out.

5.Text: The thumbnail should contain a short, concise text that summarizes the content of the video.

6. Quality: The thumbnail should be created in high quality to ensure a professional and appealing look.

7. Originality: The thumbnail should be unique and stand out from other thumbnails to attract viewers' attention.

What do I need to consider regarding the thumbnail format?

When creating thumbnails, there are some important aspects regarding the format that should be considered:

Size: It is important to note the recommended size of the thumbnail for the platform on which it will be used. For example, the recommended size for YouTube thumbnails is currently 1280 x 720 pixels, while the recommended size for Facebook thumbnails is 1200 x 628 pixels.

File format: The recommended file format for thumbnails is JPEG or PNG. It is important to make sure that the file size is not too large, otherwise the page loading may be delayed.

Readability: The thumbnail should be clear and easy to read. Therefore, use a clear font and make sure that the text is easy to read.

Relevance: The thumbnail should reflect the theme of the video or content. So avoid misleading thumbnails that might mislead viewers.

Originality: Try to create an original and unique thumbnail that stands out. A well-designed thumbnail can help capture viewers' interest and make them want to watch the video or explore the content.

Consistency: It's also important to remain consistent in terms of thumbnail design and aesthetics to create a strong brand identity and make content easier to recognize.

What do I have to pay attention to when creating a thumbnail?

You should make sure that your thumbnail matches the web content. It is also intended to encourage interaction. Therefore, you should use meaningful colors and define a face that will be seen on the thumbnail. This allows you to connect with your viewers. Your logo should also be visible to create recognition value.

How much does it cost to design a thumbnail?

The cost of designing thumbnails can vary greatly depending on various factors, including the scope of the project, the designer's level of experience, and design requirements. With Magic Design, however, thumbnail design is included in the subscription, so you pay a fixed price for unlimited design requests.
