The recommended size for YouTube thumbnails is 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall (1280x720 pixels). This aspect ratio, often expressed as 16:9, is the standard for HD video content on YouTube.
However, while 1280x720 pixels is the recommended size, YouTube allows for flexibility in thumbnail dimensions. Thumbnails can be up to 2MB in size and in either JPG, GIF, BMP, or PNG formats.
It's worth noting that while thumbnails can be larger than the recommended size, YouTube will scale them down to fit within its player. Therefore, it's essential to ensure that the key elements of your thumbnail are visible and legible even when scaled down. Additionally, creating thumbnails with a high resolution can help maintain image quality across different devices and screen sizes.
