A thumbnail, in a digital imaging context, refers to a small version of an actual picture or larger image that is usually used in representing a particular media content in a limited manner. Initially, thumbnails can be seen in the digital environment as clickable images that are very popular among various platforms and websites – such images attract users’ attention and make them click through or view the content.
The thumbnails are most popular in connection with the videos, which can be watched on YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, and any other similar platform where thumbnails determine the level of view’s interest.
