Your game must be seen! We know that. Please pay attention to this part and make your game noticeable.

But first, we have some requirements. The thumbnail must be optimized for fast loading to be visible to users as quickly as possible. It should also be interesting enough to encourage clicks. We have a few opinions on what is interesting to users.

The thumbnail displayed on Puls is in a 3:4 ratio, combining an image and a hover video. You have 7 generous seconds of users' attention to showcase your game. It is what it is, but this time is the generous attention users are capable of giving you. Pay attention to that time and make it informative enough to convey what your game is all about.

Poster

The game could be displayed with a beautiful poster featuring complex graphics. This is optimal for large games with intricate mechanics. The image serves as a poster for the game, while the hover video acts as a trailer. Wow! You're a movie! Go shine!

Transition

The thumbnail image might be smoothly transitioned to the gameplay to create a visually cohesive experience and make a strong first impression. However, this approach has a drawback. You lose a few milliseconds from those 7 seconds. Beauty is not free, as we say.

Dimensions

Thumbnails should follow these requirements:

- They must be 378px in width and 504px in height, maintaining a 3:4 aspect ratio.

- The file size should be up to 120 Kb.

- The image format must be .png.

Video Thumbnail

We process the video on our side to crop it and optimize its size to achieve the best results for fast loading. The video must be in .mp4 format and under 5 MB to be successfully processed.
