Gather and compare thumbnails for your next video
Usage example
Find your channel’s thumbnails and video frames to prepare variants and compare how they communicate the video’s subject.
Your video is finished and needs a thumbnail. You want it to fit the channel’s identity while making this episode distinct.
Recover references from your channel
Search Polimake for thumbnails on related topics and useful frames: “person holding a camera”, “product detail on a table” or “surprised face against a dark background”. Check which images accurately explain the video.
Prepare variants with a clear difference
In your editor, make two or three options. Change one main decision: the shot, amount of text or contrast. Place them together and view them at the size they will appear on YouTube. Check that the subject is recognisable and the text remains readable.
Decide what to test
Visual comparison helps you choose a composition. To find out which performs better, test the variants on YouTube and consult its data. Keep each design identified so you can connect it to the corresponding test later.
Result
A small set of thumbnails ready to test, with a specific reason behind each variant.
