How to resize a YouTube thumbnail - “larger than 2mb” error
The complete fix for the "thumbnail is bigger than 2mb" error on KZread. In this video I'll show how to resize youtube thumbnail.

🌎 My KZread coaching program: www.socialvideoplaza.com/en/y...
I'm going to use a free youtube thumbnail 2mb converter called Gimp.
You can download it for free here: www.gimp.org/downloads/
The proper image size for a KZread thumbnail is 1920x1080.
You upload youtube thumbnails in 3 formats: JPG, GIF or PNG.
• GIF - is not an option because it has too little colors.
• PNG - gives the best quality, but it quickly exceeds the limit of 2MB
• JPG - is the way to go, because it can compress the thumbnails enough to say within the limit of 2 mb.

For Mac users: .The mac version of gimp uses the default mac UI, making the menus look like they are not a part of the program itself. You should be able to find the same things there as suggested here as long as you have the program selected and on fullscreen. .On mac the program allows you to manually write the name of your file format

I wanted to ask you-- regarding my situation with my new spiritual channel attracting mostly my SR audience-- is this at all similar to the issue that u had in the past when you had a particular audience in a certain country that was actually hurting your channel and training the algorithm in a way that you didn't want and so you had to take steps to get rid of them? Is my situation similar to that in any way?

Be glad your audience "walked" over to the new channel! They (hopefully/probably) subscribed because of you as a person and your spiritual content. you must have done something right! Nobody forced them to subscribe :)

It’s been working for me all the time, but since I got a new phone (iPhone 12 pro max) It’s been backfiring me for some reason, you know any reasons why?

a jpeg above 2MB on this resolution would be a world record
For starters if you make thumbnails in Photoshop just save it as jpeg instead of quick export and quick save That did it for me Save as Then jpeg

ow no, below 80 it starts to show. 80-90, you have to look really closely to see it. For the best results, make the quality as high as possible as you can fit in the 2MB. You can get away with a lot with JPGs
