YouTube Thumbnail Maker

Make click-worthy YouTube thumbnails with AI. Describe the scene, get a bold 16:9 image, drop in your face as a reference, then add your title text.

A YouTube thumbnail is the 16:9 image that represents your video in search and suggestions — the single biggest factor in whether people click. EditClips.online generates a bold thumbnail visual from your description (drop in a photo of your face to feature yourself), you pick from a few options, and add your big title text on top in the image editor. Output is 16:9, scaling cleanly to YouTube's 1280×720.

High contrast, a clear focal subject (often a face showing emotion), bold readable text, and a promise the video delivers on. The AI handles the striking visual; you add the punchy title text.
What resolution should a YouTube thumbnail be?
YouTube recommends 1280×720 (16:9), minimum 640px wide. This tool outputs 16:9 (1344×768) which scales down cleanly to meet that.
