Question:
While scrolling your STEEMIT feed, what catches your attention first?
- Thumbnail
- Title
- Details
Screenshot from today's Project Hope feed.
The first thing which catches our attention is the thumbnail and then we check other things. This holds true for not just blog post but also for the video post too.
Thumbnail plays a very important role in catching the attention. The quality of the content comes second, first is the thumbnail. If we can't catch the attention of the viewer, our content will go unnoticed.
In near future too, thumbnails will continue to act as attention-grabber, so are we putting effort in making the thumbnails?
Most of us don't spend much time on it and just grab any relevant picture from google search or any other free platforms. But it is difficult to find the same picture which we want.
Common problems faced during thumbnail making:
- Want to automatically remove the background
- To make thumbnails for specific social media platforms
- To directly add a different object in the thumbnail
- To find free pictures
- To save the file in high dimension
- To save the file without a watermark
- Irritating adds
There are many other things, but we have listed the common ones. The following method is a tried and tested method to solve the above queries.
