YouTube Thumbnail Previewer
See how your thumbnail looks in a YouTube feed before you publish. Compare two designs, drop in real competitor videos, and check timestamp overlap across Home, Sidebar, and Mobile. This is a visual comparison, not a live audience test or CTR prediction.
1. Upload & configure
A/B comparison: add a second design as B, then flip between them.
Try 1:05 or 1:20:30 to check badge width.
2. Overlay simulation
3. Compare with real videos
Paste competitor links to see your thumbnail next to theirs. The initial feed uses labeled sample videos, not real performance data.
