Everything you need to know about youtube shorts AI generation
Thumbnails for Shorts should be sharp and clear — while Shorts are vertical at 9:16 (1080×1920 px), thumbnails often show up horizontally in search or on channel pages at 1280×720 px. Use that size for thumbnails so your content looks professional everywhere. ([listnr.ai](https://listnr.ai/blog/youtube-shorts-dimensions?utm_source=openai))
Shorts must be vertical (9:16 aspect ratio), with resolution at least 720×1280 px — ideally 1080×1920. Max length is 60 seconds. Exceeding that or shooting in landscape means your video may not be classified or prioritized as a Short. ([yoloco.io](https://yoloco.io/blog/finding-the-perfect-youtube-shorts-dimension?utm_source=openai))
Yes — although Shorts in the feed use a frame automatically, you can set a custom thumbnail that shows in search, on your channel, and elsewhere. Upload an image at 1280×720 px. PixelDojo tools help you design these perfect thumbnails in seconds. ([yoloco.io](https://yoloco.io/blog/finding-the-perfect-youtube-shorts-dimension?utm_source=openai))
Keep vital text or faces within the central safe area — avoid putting them too close to the top or bottom. Many UI elements (titles, buttons, progress bars) overlap edges. Using tools like Background Remover, Style Transfer, and Material Transfer you can isolate subjects cleanly. ([blog.aitoearn.ai](https://blog.aitoearn.ai/youtube-short-dimensions/?utm_source=openai))
Hook viewers in the first 3 seconds, use captions (many watch with sound off), employ color, contrast, bold visuals, and consistent branding. Make every frame count. PixelDojo tools like Text-to-Speech, Video Autocaption, and Magic Lighting help amplify impact. ([podcastle.ai](https://podcastle.ai/blog/youtube-shorts-dimensions/?utm_source=openai))
You don’t need to chase every change — fundamentals like using vertical video, good thumbnails, strong hooks, and watch time stay consistent. PixelDojo keeps updating: every tool works with current best practices, so you remain compliant, discoverable, and ready for what’s next.
