What is youtube thumbnail maker?

A YouTube thumbnail maker produces the 1280 by 720 cover image that decides whether a video gets clicked. APImage generates thumbnail artwork from a description or a reference frame in 16:9, and because generated type distorts at length, the reliable approach is to generate the image here and set the headline with real text using the free text-on-image tool.

How to use it

  1. 1Describe the image: the subject, the expression, the background, the colour.
  2. 2Generate in 16:9 at the highest resolution available.
  3. 3Add the headline as real text, three or four words, using the free text tool.
  4. 4Test it at actual display size before you publish.
