What works

What makes a good Dead Rails thumbnail?

The train is the star

Almost every Dead Rails thumbnail that gets clicked has the train in it, big and on a diagonal. A build video shows the train you made; a run video shows the train in danger.

Desert sun or dusk red

Bright sunny desert reads as a build or guide. A red dusk sky with a horde on the rails reads as a hard run. Pick the light to match the video.

Show the loot

Gold bars, coins and bonds piled high sell farming and build videos before anyone reads the title.

Short, fat words

SOLO, NIGHTMARE, 2:53. One to four words in heavy letters with a thick outline, readable on a phone.

Questions, answered straight.

How do you make a Dead Rails thumbnail?+

Pick a layout above or paste your video link, add your Roblox avatar and a screenshot from your run, then change anything by typing: the text, the train, the loot, the time.

What size is a Dead Rails 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 Dead Rails 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 avatar or train on it?+

Yes. Add a screenshot of your avatar or your train 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 avatar, built from the patterns top Dead Rails thumbnails share, not a copy of any one of them. Dead Rails is a Roblox experience owned by its creators.
