Capture the exact scene you like from your video and turn it into a YouTube thumbnail. Play or scrub the video, pause on the moment you want, capture it as the background, then add a style preset and a title — saved as 1280×720 PNG/JPG. You can also upload an image as the background. All composition happens on a canvas in your browser, so files are never uploaded to a server.
How to use it
- 1Select or drag in a video or an image.
- 2For a video, pause on the scene you want and press 'Use this scene as background'.
- 3Pick a style preset, add your title and text style, then save as PNG or JPG.
When it comes in handy
For example, it's handy when you've just finished editing a video and want to grab its most striking moment as the thumbnail right away.
No separate design tool to learn — pick a preset, type a title, and it saves at YouTube's standard size (1280×720).
If the text is hard to read
On bright or busy backgrounds, switch the text style to Shadow, Outline, or Box. The 'Bold & Dark' preset lays a dark gradient along the bottom so white text stays readable on any background.
