Had a thumbnail that was 90% perfect but the colors were off. Fixed it in like 2 minutes without touching anything else. Exactly what I needed.

I edit thumbnails constantly for A/B testing. This is way faster than opening Photoshop every time. Just describe what I want changed and done.

Finally a free editor that doesn't slap watermarks on everything. My channel's small but my thumbnails don't have to look cheap anymore.

Used to pay for Canva Pro just for thumbnail edits. This does what I need for free. Switched last month and haven't looked back.

Best Practices
Tips for Making Great Thumbnails
Upload the highest quality source image you have. Editing low-res images makes them worse.
Use the preview feature before downloading. Check how text looks at small sizes.
Stick to 3-5 words of text maximum. More than that becomes unreadable.
Check contrast between text and background. White text on light backgrounds fails.
Test on mobile after uploading to YouTube. Most viewers are on phones.
Common Mistakes
What to Avoid
Editing compressed images. If you downloaded from YouTube and re-edit, quality drops each time.
Adding too many effects. One or two adjustments usually enough. Over-editing looks amateur.
Forgetting mobile viewers. Text that works on desktop disappears on phone screens.
Saving as JPG for images with text. PNG keeps text sharper.
Making changes without purpose. Edit to improve click rate, not just to change.
