Overlay common player UI safe zones on your thumbnail to see what gets covered by duration badges, captions, and the resume-watching bar.

Frequently asked questions

Use 1280×720 pixels at a 16:9 aspect ratio, kept under 2MB. JPG or PNG both work — anything smaller looks soft on TVs and large desktop displays.
