Want to create YouTube thumbnails that grab attention and get more clicks? In this easy Canva tutorial, I’ll show you how to design an eyecatching thumbnail from scratch. Inspired by a thumbnail that caught my attention, I’ll break down what made it so attractive, so you can recreate irresistible thumbnails for your own videos, be it for YouTube or other projects.

We’ll cover everything: recommended thumbnail sizes, gradient backgrounds, choosing the perfect picture, adding shapes and outlines, text font tips, and more. Plus, I’ll share some insider info on my filming and photography gear.

Whether you're using a Canva free or paid account, you can follow along! (Or try Canva Pro with our free trial using the link below!)

Let me know in the comments how your thumbnail turned out, and what other Canva tutorials you’d like to see next! Don’t forget to share this video with someone who might need it.
