How to create a thumbnail for a YouTube video

For some, creating a thumbnail on YouTube (or elsewhere for that matter) is the first step in the content creation process.

A good thumbnail starts with a good idea, and a good idea for content = better chances of it being visible.

It is not for nothing that the profession of “minia maker” has exploded in recent years, responding to an increasingly important demand.
Far from being able or wanting to compete in this new profession, at Capte we always want to simplify the creation of content.

And for that we have launched a new tool, free and accessible to all, without any login required.
It is a thumbnail or thumbnail generator, at your choice, from your video.

How does it work?

‍
Very simple: after editing your Video on Capte for example you will be able to use the tool directly:

The tool allows you to choose any image from your video to make a thumbnail.

Tips

• You can generate a thumbnail before editing your video. To then finalize it in a tool like Canva eg
• You can also generate a thumbnail after adding style to Capte. Because it is possible to add a title, subtitles, graphic elements directly to the video.
• Do not hesitate to A/B test your stickers.

Moreover, we can only advise you to listen to our episode on the subject Youtube in our Content Factory podcast:
