How Do I Add a Thumbnail in WordPress?

Adding a thumbnail in WordPress is a fairly simple process. To begin, open up your WordPress admin panel and go to the Media section. There you will find the option to add a new image. Click on this and you will be presented with a few options. The first is to choose a file from your computer. If you want to add a thumbnail from a URL, enter that information in the URL field and click on the Go button. Otherwise, you can drag and drop an image file from your computer into the window. Once you have added the image, you will need to choose a format for it.

You have three options here: JPG, PNG, and GIF. If you are just adding a thumbnail for general use, then a JPG will work just fine. If you want to make sure that the thumbnail will be displayed correctly in all browsers, then choose PNG. If you are only uploading a thumbnail for use on your own website, then choose GIF. Finally, you will need to choose a size for the thumbnail. You can either choose a default size or enter a new size in pixels. Once you have completed these steps, click on the Save Button. Your thumbnail will now be added to your WordPress site.
