Thumbnail
Compose a background image with title and subtitle into a 1280×720 thumbnail.
About this tool
Places text over a background image to produce a 1280×720 thumbnail, YouTube's standard size. You build and download it in the browser without opening an image editor, and the photo never leaves your device.
When to use it
- —Needing a thumbnail in a hurry right before uploading
- —Producing several variants quickly by changing only the wording over one background
- —Making a correctly sized thumbnail without knowing a design tool
Good to know
- —Thumbnails shrink in listings. Large bold text with few lines stays readable.
- —The duration badge covers the bottom-right corner, so keep important text away from it.
- —You are responsible for the background photo's rights; using someone else's image without permission can get the video actioned.
