What works
What makes a good Apex thumbnail?
The badge is the brag
20 bomb, 4K damage, a skull diamond. Apex players know those badges on sight, so a big badge next to your legend says the video is a highlight before anyone reads the title.
Show the rank jump
A dull bronze emblem on one side, a glowing top rank emblem on the other, an arrow between. A ranked climb reads in one look.
Bright and sunny
Apex thumbnails that do well are loud: blue sky, orange canyons, saturated armour. Dark, muddy frames disappear in a busy feed.
Short, fat words
HELP ME, 53 KILLS, PICK YOUR MAIN. White or yellow with a thick outline, big enough to read on a phone.

Questions, answered straight.
How do you make an Apex Legends thumbnail?+
Pick a layout above or paste your video link, add your legend and a screenshot from your match, then change anything by typing: the text, the badge, the gun, the rank.
What size is an Apex thumbnail?+
Same as any YouTube thumbnail: 16:9. YouTube recommends 3840x2160 with a 640 pixel minimum width, as a JPG or PNG, up to 50MB on desktop or 2MB from the mobile app.
Are these Apex thumbnail templates free?+
Opening a template is free. You get 90 free credits on signup with no card, enough to make and edit your first thumbnails.
Can I put my own legend on it?+
Yes. Add a screenshot of your legend or skin as a Character and it goes into the scene in place of the grey stand-in.
Are these copied from other creators?+
No. Each layout is a new picture made with a grey stand-in player, built from the patterns top Apex thumbnails share, not a copy of any one of them. Apex Legends is a game by Respawn Entertainment.
