A few tips that can make your YouTube thumbnails irresistible are:<\/span><\/p><div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><ul><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Start using a <a href=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/youtube-thumbnail-maker\">thumbnail maker<\/a> that will help you create thumbnails that are more professional and clickable. Consider a tool like Canva, VistaCreate or Snappa.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Create thumbnails that truly represent your video rather than lure in clicks with false promises.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li><li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Add emotion to your thumbnails.

You&#8217;ll find that Netflix has mastered thumbnails, and you can learn so much from studying them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of your audience and what they prefer, be sure to review your YouTube analytics to learn what thumbnails are leading to the most clicks on your videos.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>3.
