Frequently asked questions

What size is a YouTube thumbnail?

YouTube recommends 1280 × 720px (16:9) — every template here is built at that size.

Can I swap in my own photo or screenshot?

Yes — templates with a photo region accept your image via an upload or an image URL, and the rest of the layout stays on-brand.
