How to use YouTube Thumbnail Maker

Pick background colour and title text on YouTube Thumbnail Maker.
Type the headline that should appear on the 1280×720 canvas.
Preview the layout on the card.
Download PNG and move into YouTube Studio or a full editor for photos/logos.

Practical tips

Use large, high-contrast text—thumbnails are often viewed at postage-stamp size on phones.
Keep key text away from the bottom-right where the duration badge overlaps.
Export PNG, then layer a real photo in an editor if you need more than flat colour.
