Guide: how to use Thumbnail Text Generator
Thumbnail text is read at the size of a postage stamp, on a phone, in about half a second, alongside the title. It has to add something the title does not, in two to five words, in a font heavy enough to survive compression. The Thumbnail Text Generator produces ten options with the click trigger each relies on, font weight and colour-contrast suggestions, and a note on which options hold up at mobile size.
