Big bold text

Cut out and caption

Pop the subject. Punch up the text.

Lift your subject out with a clean cutout, then add bold, high-contrast text with outlines that stay readable at thumbnail size, the difference between a click and a scroll-past.

Every platform

One thumbnail, every size.

Export the same design for a YouTube 16:9, a square post, or a vertical Short. Extend the background to fill a new shape instead of cropping the subject out of frame.

FAQ

Thumbnail maker questions

Can I generate the thumbnail image with AI?

Yes. Describe the scene you want and generate it in any style, then cut out a subject and add text on top. You can also reuse characters and styles you have saved in your library.

Can I add bold text like the big YouTube channels?

Yes. Add heavy, high-contrast text with outlines and shadows so it stays readable at thumbnail size, the look that earns clicks on a crowded feed.

What size are the thumbnails?

A standard YouTube thumbnail is 16:9 at 1280 by 720, and you can also export square and vertical sizes for Shorts and other platforms, extending the background to fit instead of cropping.

Do I need a separate design tool?

No. Generate the art, cut out the subject, add text, and export, all in Fawna, one step from the video the thumbnail is for.
