YouTube Question Which app is best for thumbnail making?

[Phantom Z]

Can anyone tell me?

It comes down to personal preference, personally I use canva, but I've heard of others using tools like GIMP

I use PicMonkey for mine! I like how easy it is to outline and add shadows. I wish it was free like Canva though - that is another highly rated thumbnail site

Picmonkey is excellent! I still stick to using Photoshop, just because it's familiar to me but Picmonkey is like Photoshop Lite. Super easy.

I absolutely love Canva, easy to use and good range of options.

Canva is good. Now there are many similar app in play/app stores.

 

[Tito Tim]

I use Photoshop, but not sure if that counts as an app.

I quite like snapseed. It's a fairly powerful photo editor that gives you quite a few options for making an average photo look better.

I used to use Canva.com. It's super simple to use and you can get pretty far. However, I found that some very useful features are missing from Canva, which is a shame. fx. one cannot add an outline to, say, text or image. You can also not skew or transform freely text if you want to get creative with it. You can only use their, rather limited, font styles. I think it's a shame, because I like the tool, but as I found myself opening up Photoshop more and more in order to do stuff that Canva couldn't do, I just switched entirely to Photoshop. You can do everything in there, as you probably know.

I think it's safe to say, that you will not get anything beating the features og Photoshop forthumbnail creation. Question is whether or other tools, like Canva, fit your needs.

Many people also recommend GIMP for a free option as opposed to Photoshop.

Cheers.

I use Canva. You can make some good thumbnails with it.

I use a mixture of Picmonkey and Canva and then a separate website to remove backgrounds on images as these are premium features on both I love the way my thumbnails are looking at the moment and think I've started to discover my style a bit more using these tools.
