## 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. You can: - start from a text prompt - start from an existing thumbnail - start from a photo or selfie - import an image from your photo library or clipboard - generate multiple thumbnail versions - keep editing an AI thumbnail instead of starting over This AI thumbnail flow is useful if you want to remake an older thumbnail, build around a face photo, or get ideas quickly before refining the final image. ### Thumbnail Editor The standard thumbnail editor is made for manual editing without making things complicated. 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.
