4 min read2026-03-09

Your YouTube Thumbnails Should Be in Your Bio

You spend time designing click-worthy YouTube thumbnails. They are part of your brand. When someone visits your link-in-bio, they should see those thumbnails — not a list of text titles.

eltree auto-extracts YouTube video thumbnails when you paste a link. Your link-in-bio page becomes a visual showcase of your best content, exactly as your audience expects to see it.

A Visual Grid for Your Video Content

Paste your latest video links into eltree and each one shows its thumbnail in a clean grid. Mix in links to your podcast, merch store, affiliate products, social profiles, and collaboration inquiries. Everything in one page.

When you upload a new YouTube video, paste the link into eltree and it automatically appears with the thumbnail. Rearrange your grid to feature your latest content first.

Let Viewers Tip You

Switch on tips and viewers can support you by card straight from your page, through Stripe. You can cash out to a debit card within minutes. eltree keeps 10% of each tip; Linktree takes 12% on its free plan.

Set Up Your YouTube Link-in-Bio

Sign up at eltree.app, choose your URL, pick a theme, paste your YouTube video links, and publish. Put your eltree link in your YouTube channel about section, community posts, and video descriptions.
