Selected by a person
I’m Alexey. YouTube Library brings together creators, visual references and editorial collections through my personal selection.
Thumbnails is the first available section: visual choices worth studying, from composition and colour to the relationship between image and title. Each reference links back to its video and channel.
Find a direction
Start with YouTube Library, open the Thumbnails gallery, discover creators or explore the editorial collections.
Filter by category and publication date, change the grid size or hide titles and details to focus on the images. Search helps you find a video, a channel or a collection.
What a reference tells you
Selections are editorial judgements. View counts come from YouTube. They describe the video’s reach, not the effect of its thumbnail, and they are not a promise of similar results.
Study the choices behind an image and use them to develop your own approach. The original work belongs to its creator.
Contribute to the library
Found a thumbnail worth a closer look? Send me the video link and a few words about what caught your attention. You’re welcome to suggest your own work.
For a correction or removal request, get in touch.
Sources and privacy
Video titles, channel details, thumbnails and view counts come from YouTube. Creators can update their images, so a reference may change over time.
Thumbnail and channel images load from Google and YouTube’s image servers, which receive the requests needed to display them. See Google’s Privacy Policy and the YouTube Terms of Service.
