Graphic design · YouTube thumbnails
Your video deserves
the click.
I design thumbnails for news, business, gaming, film and sports channels: one clear idea, faces with emotion and text that reads even on a phone screen.

Anatomy of a thumbnail
- 1A face you recognize instantly
The face carries the emotion: a smile, a wave and a gaze that leaves the frame.
- 2Four words, nothing more
Condensed yellow type over a dark base, so it reads at any size.
- 3Context without clutter
The blurred background keeps the focus on the person, and the tricolor sleeve tells the story without extra text.
Actual size
Built to win at 168 pixels
In the YouTube sidebar a thumbnail is 168 × 94 px and competes with ten others. That is why every design rests on one idea you get at a glance.
How I work
From idea to a thumbnail ready to upload
Tell me about the video
The topic, the link or the script, and who it is for.
I pitch the concept
Who appears, what emotion it carries and a two-to-four-word line.
You get the final file
Ready to upload to YouTube and made to look good on a phone.
To get started I need
With this I can prepare the proposal without back and forth.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How long does delivery take?
24 to 48 hours once I have all the material. If you need it sooner, rush delivery in under 12 hours costs an extra $4.
How many revisions can I ask for?
Each thumbnail includes one round of revisions. If you want more changes after that, we quote them separately.
Do you make versions for YouTube A/B testing?
Yes. For an extra $4 I'll prepare a second version so you can use YouTube's “Test & compare” feature and see which one gets more clicks.
Do you use AI?
I use it as support, for example for backgrounds, effects or cleaning up photos. The final design is mine.
Do you deliver the editable file?
No. I deliver the final image, ready to upload to YouTube.
How do the packs work?
You choose 4 or 8 thumbnails a month at a lower price than single ones, and send me the topics as you need them.
Which payment methods do you accept?
I prefer to be paid through Binance, but I also accept Payoneer. I can also issue an invoice if you need one.
Payment methods
Choose the payment method that works best for you. You can also book the project with a deposit and pay the rest on delivery. I can also issue an invoice if you need one.
Let's talk
Shall we make the thumbnail for your next video?
Send me the topic or the video link and I'll prepare a proposal. I also edit videos: shorts, vlogs and sales videos.
