YouTube Thumbnail Mockup

About YouTube Thumbnail Mockup

The YouTube Thumbnail Mockup builds a complete YouTube video card — the thumbnail with a duration badge, the video title, channel name with an optional verified check, view count and the posted-ago label. It is the fastest way to see how a title and thumbnail will read in the feed before you publish.

Upload your thumbnail candidate or, if you are still sketching, pick one of six colored backdrops. The duration badge, view count and time label are free-form fields, so you can test anything from a 09:47 review to a 22:08 vlog. Light and dark themes reproduce both YouTube appearances.

Sample cards for a coding tutorial, a travel vlog and a headphone review load in one click. The card exports as a PNG for A/B comparisons, channel-planning boards and pitch decks.
