Why Your YouTube Thumbnails Are Failing + How to Fix Them FAST | YouTube Thumbnail Test And Compare

To use the YouTube thumbnail test and compare feature, head over to your YouTube channel and then click on the video camera up top to create a new video. Click on Upload Video and then, in the space provided, either drag and drop a video file or click on Select Files to upload a new video. Select the appropriate video file and then click on Open.



Under this Details page, scroll down until you reach the thumbnail section. Instead of clicking on Upload File or Autogenerated, go ahead and click on Test and Compare. In this section, you're able to test and compare different thumbnails by uploading up to three images to learn which one viewers prefer.


Let's go ahead and click on this first one over here, select the first appropriate image, and then click on Open. After the first image has been uploaded, repeat the same process with a second image: click on it, select the appropriate image file, and then click on Open. After that second image has been uploaded, go ahead and click on the plus icon next to the third. Click on the third image and then on Open.


If you wish to replace any one of these three images to test and compare yet another YouTube thumbnail, click on the three little dots next to the image to access additional options, and then either click on Change, Download, or Undo.


Here's how the YouTube test and compare feature works: you upload images that you want to test, YouTube will see which one performs the best, and then you wait for the results. It can take up to two weeks. To see the report, go to the video Details page. Viewers will see the winning thumbnail, and YouTube will automatically update your video when the test is done.


Remember, it's up to you. You can keep the winning thumbnail or choose a different one. Feel free to test different texts, images, and colors. Once you're done uploading the three images to test, go ahead and click on Done at the bottom. Then, all that's left to do is follow the steps to uploading a YouTube video as you normally would.
