FAQ
Thumbnail questions
What size should a YouTube thumbnail be?
A 1280x720 image is the standard YouTube thumbnail target because it uses a 16:9 ratio and stays sharp across desktop, mobile, and embedded players.
Can I use Image Everything to test thumbnail variants?
Yes. Create multiple crops or resized versions from the same source image, then compare different hooks, faces, product angles, and text-safe layouts before uploading.
Does this generate AI thumbnails from a prompt?
No. This tool prepares thumbnails from your own images: crop to 16:9, resize to 1280x720, compress, and export. It does not generate images from text prompts.
