What creators make with it

YouTube thumbnails

Your face, a big reaction and a solid color. The click-magnet formula.

Stickers

Transparent PNGs of you, your pet or your product for chats and overlays.

Story and Reels covers

A consistent cover style for every post, so your grid looks planned.

Profile pictures

Your photo on your channel color. Recognizable at tiny sizes.

Merch mockups

Your logo or mascot on shirts and mugs, without a design degree.

Pet accounts

Fur stays fur. Your dog on the moon, if that’s the content.

The thumbnail recipe

  1. 1

    Take a photo with a clear expression

    Good light on your face, plain-ish background, and exaggerate a little. Thumbnails are tiny.

  2. 2

    Cut yourself out

    Upload it here. The background is gone in a few seconds, hair included.

  3. 3

    Pick a loud background

    A saturated color or gradient makes you stand out against the white YouTube feed.

  4. 4

    Download a PNG

    Then add your text and arrows in your usual thumbnail editor.

The full walkthrough, with sizes and text tips, is in our YouTube thumbnail guide.

Questions people ask

Something else? Read the FAQ or ask us.

Can I make a YouTube thumbnail with this?

Yes, it’s one of the most common uses. Cut yourself out, put yourself on a bold color or a scene, then add the text in your thumbnail editor. Our YouTube thumbnail guide walks through it.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in your phone’s browser, nothing to install. Pick a photo from your camera roll and save the result when you’re done.

Can I use it on screenshots or video frames?

Yes, as long as it’s an image (JPG, PNG or WebP). A sharp frame works best. Motion blur makes edges softer.

Can I make stickers?

Yes. Download a transparent PNG, and most sticker makers and messaging apps will take it as is.
