Design eye-catching YouTube thumbnails with a layer-based editor. Add text, photos, and logos, position them with snap-to-grid handles, and export at full 1280×720. Works in your browser — no signup, no watermark.
Canvas size: 1280 × 720 pixels (YouTube standard)
Build YouTube thumbnails the way pros do — with stackable layers. Drop a background image, add bold title text, layer a logo on top, and rearrange the order with a click. Every element is independently editable: change the text without touching the background, swap the logo without redoing the title.
The canvas is locked to YouTube's official 16:9 thumbnail size (1280 × 720). Export as PNG for crisp text, JPG to stay under the 2 MB upload limit, or copy straight to your clipboard. Every export is full-resolution — no watermarks, no quality loss.
Includes the fonts that actually get clicks: Anton, Bebas Neue, Archivo Black, Bungee, Russo One, and more. Add stroke outlines for that classic YouTube thumbnail look — bright text + heavy black outline = stop-the-scroll. All rendered in your browser with no upload to any server.
Click any layer to select it and grab the corner handles to resize, the top handle to rotate, or anywhere on the element to drag. The selected layer is also editable from the side panel — text, color, opacity, position. Use the up/down arrows in the layer list to reorder which element sits on top.
