Too many people have problems with creating good YouTube thumbnails because most programs cost money for installation and they're difficult to learn how to use. This is why we created EDIT, a free online editor that will help you create cool thumbnails for your videos with a professional finish without having any digital design experience or having to download an editing program.

Thanks to EDIT you can be a master of design. Our editor is based on simplicity. The goal that we had in mind when creating our editor is to have an online site where users could easily learn to create unique designs and could access the designs from anywhere! The best part about using our online system is that you don't have to download any programs to start using it. You're also able to start creating your designs for free and you're able to save, modify and download them whenever you want after you register.

Another advantage of using this online editor is that you will be able to have your own design memory within the program which will allow you to modify them. If you decide to extend to the EDIT Premium plan, you will have

more capacity

to save your projects to revise them. This can be very useful to maintain a brand image because from the initial design you can apply small changes to adapt to new videos. Maintaining consistent YouTube thumbnails allows users to quickly identify which videos are yours and are more likely to click on them if they enjoy your content.  EDIT is an indispensable tool for the community manager but also for the day-to-day user who does not want to waste time editing photos. 

EDIT has been created with the purpose of facilitating the work to users because it is specialized in the creation of templates for thumbnails for YouTube. Right now there are more than 1000 fully customizable templates available to make your YouTube thumbnails. If you don’t have a clear idea of how you want the thumbnail for next video to look, we recommend you take a look among the EDIT proposal ideas. Once you have decided on a template, you can choose the pattern that best suits your idea or you can start creating a template from scratch. You have total freedom to choose your background image, fonts, effects, and emoticons.  If you have not found what you wanted or if you want to add other elements such as a personal logo or other stickers, you are able to upload these elements and they will be saved in your profile so you will have them available whenever you need them.
