Our Story
VT Thumbnail Analyzer is born from our own pain points as content creators. We observed that even after investing many hours in producing Top-notch videos, the number of viewers was not showing the same hard work. The one thing that all these had in common? Thumbnails were not the kind that would be clicked on.
Through an in-depth analysis of YouTube's algorithm and the behavior of viewers, we created a methodical way for optimizing thumbnails. An internal tool for our own channels was the starting point of this project which soon transformed into the complete platform you are seeing today.
Our Approach
We think that proper thumbnails are not only a matter of beauty but also a question of human psyche, informatics, and tactic design. Our study merges machine vision mechanics with established marketing rules to provide you with practical insights that really function.
In contrast to general design tips, our suggestions are customized for the YouTube platform only, taking into consideration the different contexts in which thumbnails are shown (mobile vs desktop, search results vs suggested videos, etc.).
Our Mission
The objective is to make professional-quality thumbnail optimization tools available to all, thereby assisting creators, regardless of their size, in boosting their click-through rates and expanding their audience base.
Our Vision
A scenario in which a content creator will find it very easy to come up with thumbnails that perfectly illustrate their content and at the same time attract the ideal viewers.
Why Trust Our Analysis?
The scoring system we developed is a result of a thorough examination of myriad top thumbnails from various domains. The patterns and practices that directly lead to increased CTRs have been discovered and standardized.
To keep our algorithms up to date with the latest changes made by YouTube and research on viewer behavior, we continually update them. The team comprises veteran YouTube creators, UX designers, and data scientists who collaborate to ensure that our recommendations are accurate and relevant.
