Order Minecraft thumbnails
I’ve been making thumbnails for Minecraft channels for over 5 years: a bold character, a clear threat and one idea that reads even on a small phone screen.
In 5+ years I’ve made more than 1,500 thumbnails. Videos with my thumbnails have over 100 million views, and my client channels have over 50 million subscribers combined. Clients include Compot, SSundee, Ksen, Bebrok, ALEX WEBKILLER, Pavuk, Scratch and LINF.
What Minecraft thumbnails I make
Horror and monsters, “100 days” challenges, modded survival, traps and battles. For every video I look for the one scene that makes people click: a monster looming over the hero, a trap about to go off, the world collapsing around him.
How a thumbnail is made
I set up the scene as a render: a character with your channel’s skin, a blocky world, camera and light. Then in Photoshop and Cinema 4D I add light from the main object, hard shadows along the block edges, sky, particles and color. Nano Banana helps with backgrounds and individual elements. Before delivery I check the thumbnail at phone-feed size: everything important has to read at first glance.
Examples
Prices
Every thumbnail includes 2 rounds of revisions and takes 2–3 days. Packages are cheaper if you upload regularly: Start (6 thumbnails, 5 + 1 free), Growth (14 thumbnails with PSD and priority) and All-in (25 thumbnails a month plus channel art and PSD). Current prices are in the service cards on this page.
Add-ons: rush delivery, the layered PSD source, and a second version of the work for an A/B test.
What to send for an order
The video topic and the moment that matters. A link to your channel so the thumbnail fits its style. Your skin and, if you have them, thumbnails you like.
