Why Thumbnails Need Resizing
YouTube requires specific dimensions for your thumbnails before you can upload them. By resizing your thumbnail you can avoid any upload issues that you might encounter.
Another reason for resizing is that YouTube puts a size limit on the images that you upload. By resizing the thumbnail to the appropriate dimensions you can ensure that your thumbnail size will be accepted by the platform.
