Use this result
Draft short thumbnail wording that complements the video title and remains legible at small sizes.
Worked example
For a video comparing freight weights, try a focused contrast such as “8 KG OR 12 KG?” only when the video explains those numbers.
Check before using the result
Avoid repeating the full title, using tiny text or promising a result the video does not deliver.
What this tool does not establish
Text suggestions do not create a finished thumbnail or predict clicks. Review the wording with the actual image on a small screen.
Questions about this task
How much text belongs on a thumbnail?
Use only what adds a clear idea beyond the image and title. There is no universal word count that guarantees performance.
