About this tool
YouTube recommends custom thumbnails at 1280 × 720 pixels (16:9), at least 640 pixels wide, as JPG, PNG or GIF under 2 MB. This page resizes to exactly 1280 × 720 and saves a JPG well under that limit.
Fill crops the image to 16:9; Fit keeps all of it and adds a border. Keep faces and text away from the bottom-right corner, where YouTube shows the video length.
Your image is processed in your browser and never uploaded; close the tab and it's gone.

Questions
What size should a YouTube thumbnail be?
1280 × 720 px (16:9), at least 640 px wide, under 2 MB, as JPG, PNG or GIF.
Why can't I upload a custom thumbnail?
YouTube enables custom thumbnails once your account is verified in YouTube Studio. The size isn't usually the problem.
Will text in my thumbnail stay sharp?
Yes. The JPG is saved at high quality, and 1280 × 720 is the size YouTube itself displays at its largest.
