How to Find the Best YouTube Thumbnails (Easy Free Tool)
Finding the right thumb nail is important to get traction on YouTube.
And YouTube actually offers a free and easy tool to test different styles of thumb nails to find what works best for your niche and audience.
In this short video I will explain why it is great to use and show how easy it is to use.

If you’re livestreaming, you can let YouTube create something at random. Sometimes I just “strike a pose” (multiple times) and let AI select something shocking or appealing on its own.
That's interesting, Brad and definitely worth knowing!
I hope you're doing well. I need to get in touch with you soon. The summer season has been busy, but now it's calming down.
All the best.

I think you misunderstood what I showed. You do not create the thumbs on YouTube. You create them in, for example, Canva and then you make 2-3 different versions on use the YouTube tool to test which one works the best.
Hope this makes sense.
Okay, now I understand the little movie. Next question: is the material in Premium+ going to tell me how to make the best thumbs or do I have to ask you 10000 questions?

Good morning Mikael,
Thank you for once again sharing your YouTube tips, as always, it's appreciated.
I had noticed that the YouTube thumbnail feature had changed a bit in the last few weeks, but it's something that I haven't experimented with yet. I appreciate the helpful reminder as it's probably worth giving it a try.
I wondered perhaps if you could make a video at some point on how you create your thumbnails, or perhaps you already have. I use Canva, and I'm guessing that you may do, but it would be interesting to see how you go about the process, as I noticed that your thumbnails normally have a picture of yourself on them.
Have a fantastic day.

Canva is definitely a great tool and that is also what is used for mine. But I actually do not create them myself anymore, so I do not know the exact details of how it is done as my VA takes care of it.
Good morning Mikael,
I must admit I do like the simplicity of Canva, Mikael, I believe that's what the majority of people use for their YouTube thumbnails. That's great that you have a VA to take care of your thumbnails. I'm sure that's a great help in focusing on your workflow, etc.
Well done for making it happen, Mikael!
Wishing you a very happy Sunday.
Roy
