Size Your custom thumbnail image should be as large
as possible, as the image will also be used as the preview image in the embedded player.
We recommend your custom thumbnails: * Have a resolution of 1280x720 (with minimum
width of 640 pixels). * Be uploaded in image formats such as .JPG,
.GIF, .BMP, or .PNG.� * Remain under the 2MB limit.�
* Try to use a 16:9 aspect ratio as it's the most used in YouTube players and previews.
Policy All custom thumbnail images must follow our�Community
Guidelines. Thumbnails that are sexually suggestive, violent, or graphic may cause your video to
be�age-restricted. Age-restricted partner videos will not have advertising served against
them and will not appear on browse pages. The ability to upload custom thumbnails may
be revoked for creators who consistently use thumbnails that don't follow our guidelines.�If
your thumbnail privileges have been revoked, we will not be able to restore this privilege.
