See where each platform crops and covers your image before you upload
Interface elements cover a surprising amount of a vertical video, and a 16:9 thumbnail loses its edges on a phone. See it before you publish rather than after.
A 16:9 thumbnail loses its edges on a phone. A vertical video has a third of its area hidden behind captions, buttons and the top bar. Text or faces placed there disappear. This shows you the crop and the interface overlay for each platform so you can move things before you publish, not after.
