How it works

YouTube thumbnail maker in three steps

  1. 1

    Write a short title

    Three to six words read best on a phone. Long titles shrink to fit.

  2. 2

    Add a photo

    Your face, the product or a scene. It is scaled and cropped to fill the frame.

  3. 3

    Download

    A 1280 × 720 JPG, under YouTube’s 2 MB limit.

Publishing every week, or running several channels? Render each episode's thumbnail from its title with the JamFrame API, straight from your upload workflow.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?
Yes. The thumbnail maker is free with no sign-up, no watermark and no download limit: your own browser does the work. If you want to make images automatically, a free JamFrame account includes API credits every month.
What is the right YouTube thumbnail size?
1280 × 720 pixels (16:9), at least 640 pixels wide, under 2 MB, as JPG, PNG or GIF. Downloads from this maker meet all of these.
Can I use my own photo?
Yes. Add a photo and it fills its frame. It is scaled down in your browser, so even large phone photos are quick.
Is my photo stored?
Nothing is uploaded. Your own browser draws the preview and makes the file; your text and your picture never leave your device.
