Roblox video thumbnails
Thumbnails for Roblox channels: characters, emotions and a scene that read at first glance in the YouTube feed.
I’ve been making thumbnails for Minecraft and Roblox for over 5 years — more than 1,500 so far. Videos with my thumbnails have over 100 million views.
How Roblox thumbnails differ from Minecraft
Roblox characters have faces and emotions, so the hero’s emotion is often the main hook: fear, surprise, excitement. The worlds are brighter and more varied — from obbies and tycoons to horror games — and the thumbnail has to show right away which game the hero is in and what’s happening to him.
How a thumbnail is made
I set up the scene with your avatar and the game world, then add light, color, effects and accents in Photoshop and Cinema 4D. Nano Banana helps with backgrounds and elements. Before delivery I check the thumbnail at phone-feed size.
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 and your avatar. If you have thumbnails you like, send them too.
Revisions, payment and rights
Every thumbnail includes 2 rounds of revisions. New clients pay 50% upfront. After payment you get full rights to the finished work.
