Why Preview Your Thumbnail?
Your thumbnail is the most important factor in click-through rate. A thumbnail that looks great in Photoshop might be unreadable at mobile size. This tool shows you exactly what viewers see before you commit to uploading.
Key things to check: Is your text readable at small size? Does the expression pop? Does it stand out against a white background (search) AND dark background (suggested)? Does it tell a story in under 2 seconds?
