Six tips for crafting the perfect thumbnails

This week, Sam’s out visiting clients and colleagues in Miami, so our Associate Producer, Claudia Kelly, joins Roop on the mics. They discuss best practices for creating the perfect thumbnail for your blogs, YouTube videos, TikToks, and more. Your thumbnail preview image does a lot of heavy lifting—it’s the main thing that can get a user to stop scrolling and engage with your content, so why not show it some love?

How many people are too many in a thumbnail? Is text okay to include? Are there any special circumstances or opportunities across various social channels? Roop and Claudia answer these questions and more in this week’s episode of Little Talks!

Bonus: Claudia accidentally cosplays as Princess Leia!
