FAQ

What size does the tool export?

The output is 1280 x 720 pixels, the standard YouTube thumbnail size.

Why do I see a 16:9 warning?

The warning appears when your source image is noticeably different from 16:9, which usually means cropping will produce a better thumbnail.

Can I export as JPG, PNG, or WebP?

Yes. All three formats are available and processed locally in your browser.
