Build YouTube thumbnails fast with an on-canvas editor: drag, resize, rotate, and edit text inline. Export a crisp 1280×720 PNG with optional safe zones.
Work on a true 1280×720 canvas so your thumbnail exports at the standard size.
Select elements and drag, resize, and rotate them. Double-click text to edit inline.
Start from strong thumbnail compositions across niches (gaming, finance, podcast, storytime, and more).
Add rectangles, circles, arrows, and extra text blocks for emphasis.
Drop an image into a photo placeholder (cover/contain). Everything stays on your device—no uploads.
Enable safe zones to avoid placing key text too close to edges. They do not export.
Download a high-quality PNG. Optionally include a small watermark for attribution.
Everything runs in your browser. The thumbnail is drawn using HTML Canvas and exported to a PNG on your device. No images are uploaded or stored on our servers.
Sharing on desktop typically means copying a caption/link or downloading the PNG, then uploading it where you want. On mobile, the browser’s native share sheet may attach the PNG directly.
