Changing the thumbnail of a video in your phone gallery can help you personalize your media and make finding videos easier. Whether you want your thumbnails to reflect the content of the video or just make your gallery look more aesthetically pleasing, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve that on your Android device.

Steps to Change Video Thumbnail

  1. Choose a Video
    Begin by launching your phone’s gallery app. Scroll through your videos and select the one for which you want to change the thumbnail.

  2. Edit the Video

    • Open the video and look for an option that says Edit or Edit Video. This is usually represented by a pencil icon or the word ‘Edit’.
    • In some gallery apps, you might find an option to change the thumbnail directly during the editing process.

  3. Select a New Thumbnail

    • If your gallery app allows it, you can usually take a new photo or select an existing one from your gallery. Look for an option that allows you to choose an image.
    • Crop or adjust the photo as needed to ensure it fits well in the thumbnail frame.

  4. Save Changes
    Tap on Save or Done after editing. Your video’s thumbnail should now be updated!

Tips

  • If the built-in gallery app doesn’t support changing thumbnails, consider downloading a third-party video editing app.
  • Make sure to always back up your videos before making any significant changes, just in case things don’t go as planned.

Additional Tools

Here are some popular apps that might help you change the video thumbnail:

  • InShot: A photo and video editing tool that allows for comprehensive editing options.
  • KineMaster: A complete video editing app that also offers thumbnail customization.

By following these steps, you can easily change the video thumbnail in your phone gallery, enhancing your organization and personal touch!

Conclusion

Having custom thumbnails can make your gallery look more professional while making it easier to find videos. Give it a try and see how it changes the way you interact with your video collection!
