Recreating a MrBeast Thumbnail in Photoshop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- In order to make better thumbnails that get a higher click-through rate and get more views, today I'm attempting to recreate one of my favourite MrBeast thumbnails from scratch in photoshop.
We'll go over the whole process, from taking the necessary photos to cutting out the images in 2 clicks and then making them all look like one cohesive scene.
So if you want to know how to make a UA-cam video thumbnail like mr Beast, then this video is for you!
Why am I doing this?
Mr beast, or Jimmy, has one of the most successful UA-cam channels in the history of the platform. My main goal for this channel is to simply get better at the game of UA-cam. Therefore I want to study what the best of the best do and learn how to do it myself.
My hope is that by taking this approach, I'll get better at making UA-cam videos, get better at making thumbails and be able to make a full-time living impacting lives and having fun.
And of course, I hope you all learn a thing or two too!
I hope you enjoyed the video and I hope you picked up a few tips that can help you when you next create your own thumbnail!

Underrated youtuber tbh
:D
Fr I just subbed to him
Even as a non-UA-camr/Photoshop noob, this video was extremely interesting to watch! Keep it up Brandon! Really like your video style!
Thanks Lars! Always great to have you here
Great tutorial! Thanks m8!
I learned new things from this🙏🔥.
You're very welcome!
keep doing what you are doing and your channel is gonna blow up, subscribed
Really appreciate that! This past week has been crazy for growth 🤯
I looked down at the subs and you're only at 1.6k!? Dude, from the quality and presentation alone I assumed you were in the millions. 🔥 Absolutely crazy content dude, I'd love to work with you one day!
Thanks man! Really appreciate that. Hopefully one day I’ll get there
I think on the green colorize layer, you probably could have used a "blend if" adjustment to let the darker browns come through instead of painstakingly painting them. However, I realize that would make the next step where you brought the browns up in saturation need a different approach. Still, it might be something you try experimenting with in the future.
I will admit that I myself enjoy the painting process, so I honestly understand if you prefer doing it this way) Great video)
Picking perfect green color range with the hue and saturation picking color tool is the fastest route
that's top-notch! I am quite familiar with creating designs in photoshops but couldn't exactly recreate his style of thumbnails (maybe a bit of a creative block) so went on to UA-cam,searched up a little bit, and found your video! I need to buy a graphics tablet as soon as i earn some money because it's hella tough to do designs without that (the dodging and burning and other stuff). Great Stuff Btw.
Thanks so much! Yeah a graphics tablet definitely helps with things like shading etc.
Supperb 👌 brother. Appreciate your work and talent.
Thanks! I’ve learnt a lot from these guys!!!
Weldone was glued to it throughout
Thanks! :D
This was excellent! Great job! I always have a hard time making my thumbnails. I subscribed
Thanks! Thumbnails can be both the best thing and worst thing to work on sometimes… haha
Bro yours is way better, in the MR. Beats one the soldier is also looking at the camera like wth. but yours is like the military guy is actually looking for the main character, Nice work 100%.
You are definitely amazing at what you do
Oh wow! I appreciate that :)
this lowkey helped my thumbnail design thanks gang
I'm so glad to hear that!
i subsribed because we almost have the same followers and I know the hustle..keep it up
So so good.
Thank you!
Keep it up man. Underrated and talented UA-camrs like you are very helpful because we can ask for any tutorial we want and you will pretty much make it
It’s perfect! I’m really impressed with how gorgeous it looks. Wish your skin was a tad warmer to match the atmospheric look of the scene
Cheers! Always things to improve
the alt clicking stuff is great :)
Game changer hey! When I learnt that I instantly fell in love with the feature
Best thumbnail tutorial out there!
Learned so much from you today ❤
This was amazing! Our team is starting to learn how to make thumbnails a little bit more animated I hope we can do this!
The only difference is that the wall, mrbeast and the soldier have a lighting coming from right to left this allows mr beast to have a little more color on his wall and the face of character popping more. Finally, popping whites on the tank and making it bigger may have been better. Again the diference are minimal!
amazing, good job bro
I've see Jimmy talk about having a point of interest in all four corners or the thumbnail, even if it's a hand or a logo - perhaps give that a try in the next one! 😁
Interesting concept. I will definitely play around with that!
I'm late here but this was dope to watch for sure
Sorry for late reply, but super glad to have you here!
Thank you for this tutorial, I learned a lot!
Thank you for the comment! :)
Suggestion: Changing Title to "Recreating MrBeast Thumbnail" might be better than "I recreated a MrBeast Thumbnail from Scratch..."
Banger video!
~A Photoshop Noob
I like it! Titles are something I really want to work on this year. Might give this one a try soon ;)
Thanks
Thanks for video, there is many things to learn from this. The only thing that is better on mr beast thumbnail is the clothes of soldier. It looks like from game, do u have any idea how it is done?
Thank you!! Not entirely sure at this point. Perhaps it was just better costuming when taking their photos
W thumbnail
You should try to create shadows with exposure or curves, not colors with blednings. But it is up to you
Funny how youtube recommended me this video. Im literally working on a video like this right now
UA-cam works in mysterious ways haha
Man, you are really inspiring me❤❤
That’s great to hear! How’s your own journey going?
Thanks for the tutorial i learned a lot of it!❤
You're very welcome!
this helped me thank you Validation
Glad I could help out :))
Thank you. It was great! Can you make more mr. Beast thumbnail tutorials please?
Great video, explained a lot!
Thank you!!
Your Channel is so Underrated....
Hey I was completely copy pasting your progress on my own (test) thumbnail and I can say I learned a few new things I didn't even know I was ever able to do.. But as a tip I would say: show some keys your pressing because sometimes I had a hard time following what u clicked. For example the ALT clipping, I'm on Macbook and had a hard time finding it. But thanks for this interesting course!
Amazing work pal!
You have nailed it bro
Mr Beast not only whiten the teeth, but also the skin tone, making it the over-bright in a good way.
I think your only mistake is that mr beast's thumbnails is focused on set his facetone on the warm tone like red and orange to pop it more but you didn't fix that, but also i think your work was pretty good👍🏻
How many hours it took exactly? From the point you sit in photoshop?
Can you provide the link of those assets that you used ? It would be helpful.
I’ll look into it & add them to the description very soon :))
Great video! Thanks
No problem! Thanks for the comment!
Cool
Make the army guy's costume pop a little more. And overall I am loving this thumbnail ❤😊

nice but the biggest problem in the image was you look out of place you don't feel part of the image and the masking of the tank is very bad because the shadow isn't proper and another problem is the men coming down from the helicopter they feel like they are falling not coming down with a rope

Sorry friend, just made a quick assumption with my limited knowledge
@@Validation Now worries at all, I apologize for if you read the comment as being aggressive, I did not mean it like that at all. I watched this tutorial 5 times in a row and it helped immensely!
But if u just showed how u did it will help allot

You can always reach me via email in the about section of my channel
Plz Give me this Thumbnail Assets
Me it takes 60 second to make NY thumbnail 😂
You’re efficient then! 😂
Dude this is EXTREMELY impressive considering that Jimmy reportedly spends quite a bit of money on his thumbnails. Your editing's good too - are you self-taught?
Thanks man! Yeah completely self taught, but obviously learnt a lot from watching tutorials and breaking down videos I like.
@@Validation Any learning resources you'd be able to recommend? Considering that Pixlr (lol) has switched to paid memberships I'm thinking about finally taking the jump to a Photoshop membership, but also I just need to get better at editing (and lighting, and sound) in general. It's...a lot.
@@JoelSnape1 if you want to learn photoshop specifically, piximperfect is a great place , he even have a begginer course to photoshop.
Hindi me bhai fan for indian😊😊
That's not how you add shadow on your face !
shadow: 5:45
What the hell are you?
You are loosing money in every video for sure, specially with the kind of expertise that you have and your time!
Why are you at only 3k subscribers😱 you have to have atleast 3million, the way you simplify everything is unbelievable, I am eagerly waiting for all your videos! I wish to do everything to make you more recognisable from my end! 🤝
Thank you so much for your time and effort! ☺
Thanks so much 🥹 yeah spent a lot of time and money on this journey. Just taking my time haha appreciate your comment heaps though
your army is better
