## AI Thumbnail Maker for YouTube and Twitch Create thumbnails for YouTube videos and Twitch stream covers. This thumbnail maker gives you two ways to work: 1. An AI thumbnail generator for faster drafts and variations, perfect to generate professional thumbnails in seconds or to create thumbnails variations for YouTube, 2. A standard thumbnail editor for manual design and full control over each layer. ### AI Thumbnail Generator Use AI to create and edit thumbnails in different ways depending on what you need.

Features include: - saved projects and templates you can reuse for new videos - background removal to turn photos into stickers - a built-in stickers gallery - 300+ fonts and text styles - layers for simple image and text editing and composition - access to millions of photos from Unsplash ### iPad Thumbnail Editing The app is fully supported on iPad. ### Privacy Your editing projects are stored on your device. If you use AI thumbnail generation or AI editing, your prompt and any images you choose are sent securely to our servers so the feature can work.
