Roblox game thumbnail maker for Creator Hub

Game thumbnail, not video thumbnail

The picture players see before they ever press play

A Roblox game thumbnail is the player-facing picture on your game page and in Discover. It is not the same job as a YouTube thumbnail about Roblox. A player is choosing what to spend the next twenty minutes on, so the picture has to show what your game is, who it is for and why now, in about a second. If you make Roblox videos instead, the Roblox thumbnail maker for YouTube is the page you want.

• +Built for the game page and Discover, not a video feed
• +One clear subject, readable when it is shrunk to a small tile
• +Matches the look of your game so the click is not a surprise
• +Several thumbnails in one style when you want a full game page

How it works

Start from a screenshot of your game

Take a screenshot in Studio or in a live server and drop it into the Roblox studio. Describe what the thumbnail should say: the main mechanic, the hero, the mood. The studio builds a 1920x1080 frame from your screenshot, and you can keep changing it by typing until it reads right. Nothing is claimed about how many plays a thumbnail will earn. You get the picture, and you judge it next to the games around yours.

• +Use your own screenshot as the starting point
• +Describe the change you want in plain words
• +Export at 1920x1080 (16:9), the size the game page uses
• +Remaster an old thumbnail you already uploaded

The size

1920x1080, 16:9

Roblox game thumbnails are 16:9 and the Creator Hub accepts several images per game, so the first one should work alone and the rest should add detail. Keep the main subject away from the edges, because the picture gets cropped and scaled to many tile sizes. A game icon is a different asset: it is square. The Roblox thumbnail size guide has every Roblox size in one table.

• +Game page thumbnail: 1920x1080
• +Game icon: square, a separate asset
• +Pass and badge icons are cropped to a circle
• +Check the current numbers in the Roblox Creator Hub docs before you upload

One account

The same studio your YouTube channel uses

The Roblox studio makes game thumbnails and YouTube thumbnails, plus Shorts covers, channel art, square profile pictures and see-through UI icons. One account and one credit balance work across every game studio, so the credits you get at signup go toward whichever job you start with.
