A thumbnail creator is almost always YouTube 1280×720. This landing defaults to that preset on the social-resize engine so you are not hunting through Instagram sizes first.

What makes a readable thumb

Faces large, contrast high, little tiny text. The crop is cover-mode: edges may trim. Put the subject in the center.

Other platforms

The same control lists Facebook, Pinterest, and stories. Switch the preset if you are not making a YouTube file.

Frequently asked questions

Does it add title text on the thumbnail?

No. It sizes the image. Add type in the meme tool or a design app if you need big words.
