How to Create custom video thumbnail ?
If your account is verified or you have live streaming access, you may have the ability to upload custom thumbnails for your video uploads.

Best Image size & resolution

Your custom thumbnail image should be as large as possible, as the image will also be used as the preview image in the embedded player. We recommend your custom thumbnails.

Tip#1.
Youtube recommend custom thumbnails Have a resolution of 1280x720 (with minimum width of 640 pixels).
Tip#2.
Be uploaded in image formats such as .JPG, .GIF, .BMP, or .PNG.

Tip#3. Remain under the 2MB limit. But Best under 100kb

Try to use a 16:9 aspect ratio as it's the most used in YouTube players and previews.

Must Read Youtube Thumbnail policies

All custom thumbnail images must follow our Community Guidelines. Thumbnails that are sexually suggestive, violent, or graphic may cause your video to be age-restricted. Age-restricted partner videos will not have advertising served against them and will not appear on browse pages.

The ability to upload custom thumbnails may be revoked for creators who consistently use thumbnails that don't follow our guidelines. If your thumbnail privileges have been revoked, we will not be able to restore this privilege.
