YouTube Thumbnail Size: 1280×720 Pixels
The recommended YouTube Thumbnail size is 1280×720 pixels, an aspect ratio of 16:9. Upload a photo and the tool scales it proportionally to cover the frame, then center-crops whatever overflows, so the result is exactly 1280×720 with no black bars or distortion. You can still change the width and height before processing.
