# Free YouTube thumbnail maker
Cutshed Thumbnail maker is a free browser tool that runs on this device. Build a 1280×720 thumbnail with a background, a photo, and text, then export a PNG.
A canvas at the size YouTube asks for. Set a background, drop a photo if you have one, type a headline, and export a PNG. No account and no template service.
## How to use it
- The frame is 1280×720. The headline wraps in the center band. The subline sits under it. Color, size, and vertical position are the controls. A photo, if you add one, covers the frame and then a dark scrim keeps the type readable.
- Export downloads a PNG and shows the same image under the button. It is a flat picture. You cannot reopen the layers later. Change the words and export again.
- This is a layout tool, not a design studio. Two lines of type and one photo are the whole document. If you need five stickers, build it elsewhere and only use this when you want the right pixel size without an account.
## Tips
- Short headlines. Five words fit. A sentence does not.
- Light type on a dark scrim reads at the size YouTube actually shows, which is small.
- Export PNG, then run the image converter if the upload form wants JPG.
## FAQ
- What size is the export?
1280×720 pixels, PNG. That is the standard YouTube thumbnail size.
- Are there fonts to install?
The page uses the site typeface already loaded. It does not fetch a font store.
- Is the layout uploaded?
No. The canvas never leaves the tab until you download it yourself.
## License
This page uses the browser canvas and the File API. No model is downloaded, and the picture is not sent anywhere.
## Related tools
- Image Background remover Cut the subject out and download a PNG.
- Image Image upscaler Enlarge a still to four times the pixels.
- Image Image converter Compress or convert JPG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF.
Files stay on this device.
Free tools never upload the file you open. Studio is the only paid part of the site, and the only place a prompt is sent to a video model.
