For everyone else, this thread is a place where you can help! If you want to see a new thumbnail for something on the site, create one, upload it to dump (to retain quality) then make a post here with a link to the submission and a link to the thumbnail you created.

Note: Dump has been changed to be a Supporter feature for new accounts moving forward. If you want to help with thumbnails but don't have access to Dump, you can post your example thumbnails directly in this thread and I could gift you with Supporter status for the sake of helping out.

Moderators will be able to upload your thumbnail and we'll likely recruit new mods from the people who help!

Thumbnail Sizes

I tend to upload thumbnails in the 1920x1080 range. The site generates thumbnails that are 720 wide and 360 wide but we hold on to the source image in case we ever need to go bigger. Our new movie and game thumbnails are a 16:9 aspect ratio. We don't need to upload an image with that exact aspect ratio because the site has a cropper tool, so you don't have to worry about being exact there.

If you're making a thumbnail for old Flash content, often the Flash itself is smaller than 720 wide. In these cases I full screen the Flash before taking a screenshot. Sometimes I'll even zoom in, which requires a Flash player (Ruffle doesn't have a zoom in option at the moment).

This week we started displaying thumbnails in front of Flash content loaded via Ruffle and soon will launch the new movie and game hubs, which will utilize larger thumbnails.

Thank you in advance to everyone who helps out here! Thumbnail updates have always been one of the more daunting aspects of long-term NG maintenance. We like even the oldest stuff to look its best!

What file types do I need to be using if any particular ones? I can help upscale images, if needed.

the best uploads are usually in a 1920x1080 .jpg format
I usually create a blank 1920x1080 square, screenshot a full-screen picture and then add it to the blank square without increasing the size of the canvas, I can then drag the picture around to find the best position, add a CENSORED square or modify things if they neeeed to be modified from the original creation of what the uploader posted (to keep things E or T rated)

Things are pretty free-form here but if you want to try something specific, we have a bunch of games in the 2015 range that had "slightly larger" thumbnails in the system, but not large enough for the current format. When switched to the larger format, these games had their thumbnails processed to fit the new site but they don't look ideal.

Here's an example from January 2015, using our custom date range sort:

https://www.newgrounds.com/games/popular?sort=views&genre=0&after=2015-01-01&before=2015-02-02

Notice how Shop Empire 3, Strikeforce Kitty 2 and Tangerine Tycoon have awkward thumbnails. If you have NG Player (or if the games are running via Ruffle) you could try making new thumbnails for those.

Alternatively, most really old content already runs in Ruffle and a lot of it has missing or small thumbnails, if you'd want to try those! Here's January 2005 for an example:

https://www.newgrounds.com/games/popular?sort=views&genre=0&after=2005-01-01&before=2005-02-02

good job!
a small bit of tweaking so that you can see how things work

the final work could even be pre-zoomed to look something like this...

pixels and sizes of things are weird

you got this, it took me a while to figure this out by myself

Just as a question, are you sure about the 800x600 size format for this submission?

I updated all of these except these, the uploads that you put up I didn't really understand, and I am wondering if there is a better rendition of the artist's creation than what you posted
maybe something to look into
