Steemit Tips: How to Set Your Post's Thumbnail
Here's a short quick tip on how to set your post's thumbnail!
Things to Avoid
- Having text cut off in thumbnail
- Having borders cut off
How does Steemit choose your thumbnail?
Steemit simply takes your very first image and uses that as a thumbnail.
If you make a post and realize you wanted to use a different thumbnail, no worries! You can edit your post with a new image, placed as the very first image, and your thumbnail will update!
Thumbnail Size
Thumbnails display at 128x73.
The thumbnail also has a 1 pixel grey border, using the hexadecimal color # EEEEEE.
I tend to make my images around 600x342. You can experiment with sizes to get a perfect fit for the thumbnail and also for how it displays in your post as you have to consider both.
I hope that clears up Steemit thumbnails!

Thank you so much for checking the post out!
I've referred some friends to Steemit so I'm just making posts based on what they've been asking me. I'm researching a lot of their questions myself so learning a bit more about Steemit each day.
Thanks for the help! I'm trying to put out the best content that I can for everybody.
Happy to help! I'll be adding a tip each day sort of as I learn my way through Steemit.
I figure I should write down what I learn and what better way than as blog posts. I hope people are able to learn a thing or too. I also hope people correct me if I end up giving out any wrong information.
Btw, great photography! I'm following your blog, can't wait to see your series unfold.
