Good to know.

  • Representative layouts are not exact copies of every YouTube interface.
  • The preview does not predict click-through rate or video performance.
  • Image, title and channel text stay local. No YouTube API is used.

A little more clarity.

Does this publish my thumbnail?

No. It is a local preview only. Upload the finished thumbnail to your channel yourself.

What aspect ratio works best?

The preview uses a 16:9 frame. Your image is fitted into that frame so you can inspect its composition.
