About y2graphic
Good videos deserve great thumbnails.
Bold, clear thumbnail design that brings your video's hook into focus.
I'm Gage, the designer behind y2graphic. I've been making YouTube thumbnails for over 3 years, and in that time I've designed for just about every kind of video: pranks, challenges, haunted explorations, podcasts, sports and live streams.
Along the way I've worked with creators like Zachcray, Fred Beyer, Danny Duncan, Khan Asadi, JR Jayy and many more. Some of those thumbnails are on videos with millions of views, and one did more than 200 times its channel's usual views.
I also help creators run their channels, from video ideas and titles to upload schedules and growth, so they can spend their time making videos. If you've got an upload coming up, I'd love to make it impossible to ignore.

FAQ
What should I send?
Either a specific frame or the whole video, shared through a Google Drive or Dropbox link. Then a few notes: what you want the thumbnail to show, the titles you have in mind, and any thumbnail you'd like yours to be inspired by.
How long does a thumbnail take?
Usually 2 to 3 days from when you send everything. If you need it sooner, you can pay a rush fee to move it up.
How much does a thumbnail cost?
It depends on the thumbnail. Book a call and you'll have a price before any work starts.
What do I get?
Your finished thumbnail at YouTube's full 1280×720 size, ready to upload as soon as you get it.
How do revisions work?
You get 3 rounds of revisions. Each round can be a whole list of changes, so you can send everything you want adjusted at once. After the third round, extra revisions are paid, and the price depends on the change.
Can we work together regularly?
Definitely. If you upload often, I offer discounted thumbnail retainers and bundles, and I'll plan your thumbnails around your upload schedule. If you'd like help beyond thumbnails, management is available as its own service, where we work together on growing your whole channel.
