For YouTube Test & Compare
Three thumbnails to test.
One click.
YouTube's Test & Compare lets you run up to 3 thumbnails on one video and keeps the one that holds viewers longest. The hard part is making three good ones. LaunchLens makes them for you.
One thumbnail, plus two new versions from a single Remaster run in LaunchLens.

Test & Compare questions
What is YouTube Test & Compare?
A free YouTube Studio feature. You upload up to 3 thumbnails for one video, YouTube shows them to different viewers, and it keeps the one that earns the most watch time.
How long does a thumbnail test take?
Usually a few days to two weeks, depending on how many impressions the video gets.
Does YouTube pick the winner by clicks?
No. YouTube says it picks by watch time, so a thumbnail that brings the right viewers can beat one that just gets more clicks.
Should I test a video right after I post it?
YouTube suggests testing older videos first. Testing at launch splits your first views across versions.
How many versions can LaunchLens make at once?
Remaster makes two new versions of your thumbnail per run. With your original, that is the three Test & Compare takes.
Your next test starts with three good thumbnails.
