What works

What makes a good Fortnite thumbnail?

Before and after

Noob vs pro, day 1 vs day 365, bronze vs Unreal. Split the frame, keep the left side plain and the right side glowing, and the whole video reads in one look.

Real in-game loot

Gold mythics, loot chests, medallions and rank badges are what a Fortnite viewer recognises instantly. Put the item that matters big, beside the player.

A big number

60 kills, 0.01%, day 365. A huge number tells the viewer the stakes before they read the title.

Two words, outlined

MYTHIC ONLY, ONE CHEST, 1V1. Short, thick, outlined text reads on a phone. Montages go the other way: tiny lowercase text and a clean, dreamy shot.

Are these Fortnite 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 Fortnite character on it?+

Yes. Add a screenshot of your character as a Character and it goes into the scene in place of the grey stand-in.

Yes. Type the new rank, like Diamond or Elite, or a new kill count, and it swaps in. The layout stays the same.
