A method and system () for generating smart thumbnails is disclosed. The method includes receiving a thumbnail and metadata in relation to a content stored in a content store (). The metadata is analyzed to identify a key content element of the content. If the key content element is present in the thumbnail, one or more features related to the key content element are extracted and caused to be animated to create an animated content element. One or more textual snippets are generated based on the metadata, and a textual snippet is converted into a speech form to configure an audio version of the textual snippet. The audio version is combined with the animated content element to create a speaking content element. The speaking content element is embedded in place of the key content element in the thumbnail to generate the smart thumbnail.
