Simple 3-step process

How to Create a Pro YouTube Thumbnail

🔗01

Provide a Background

⬇️03

Generate & Download

Hit "Generate" and get up to 10 A/B test variants in seconds — each with a different color palette and composition. Preview all thumbnails, then download your favourite in 1280×720 px JPG, ready to upload to YouTube.
