YouTube Thumbnail Maker

Pick a layout, type the title, and download a 1280×720 PNG. An optional photo sits behind the type.

Your files never leave this device. There is no account and no watermark on the download.

Layouts

Colour block, bottom band, big centre type, or a split. They are drawn on a canvas at the size YouTube asks for. There is no stock-photo library and no account.

Type and colours

Keep the title short. Two lines are easier to read on a phone. Contrast is your job: if the photo is busy, use the block or band layout so the words sit on a flat colour.

Background photo

Optional. It is scaled to cover 1280×720. Faces at the edge can be cropped. The photo is not uploaded.

FAQ

What size is the download?

1280×720 pixels, PNG. That is the usual YouTube thumbnail size.

Can I add Hindi text?

You can type it. The canvas uses a serif that may not draw Devanagari on every device. If you see boxes, keep the title in Latin or Hinglish.

Do you upload the thumbnail to YouTube?

No. You download the PNG and upload it in YouTube Studio yourself.

Is there a watermark?

No.
