The final output of our thumbnail for today | Designed by me on Canva application


A good thumbnail can help us get more audience attention on any platform. If we want more people to visit our post and give their valuable comments then our thumbnail should also be attractive for visitors.

There are many newcomers to the Steemit platform who don't know how to create a good thumbnail for a post. There are many applications on the playstore for creating thumbnails that you can use to create great designs

I didn't know how to make attractive thumbnails in the beginning but I try to tell the newbies all the things that were difficult for me in the beginning so that they can overcome these difficulties.

So In this post, I will tell my friends how I make thumbnails of my steemit post and I will do it all with the help of canvaapplication. You can find this application very easily from play store, so let's start.


STEP NO 1


First of all, I turn on my mobile and open the canva application, which will helps us to make the thumbnail. Your internet speed should be good to run this application.

STEP NO 2


In the second step many options will open in front of you, each option will have a different purpose from the others, but you have to click on the YouTube Thumbnail option as we can see in the screenshots below.

As soon as we click on this option, a lot of thumbnails will open in front of us, some of them are paid and some are free to use. So we will touch on the thumbnails that are free to use as we can see in the screenshot above.


STEP NO 3


In the third setp, our selected thumbnail will open in front of us, now it's time to change, we can change everything on this thumbnail. I will replace the "modern" with "Thumbnail tips" and interiors with "for newcomers" as we can see in the screenshot above. You can change these texts according to your interest.

STEP NO 4


In the last step, I will click on the photo option in the thumbnail and I will paste my photo here as you can see in the screenshot below. Here you can put any of your photo you like best.
