YouTube Thumbnail Font Generator

Heavy, tightly spaced sans-serif letters with a thick outline read best at feed size. Avoid thin, script, or highly decorative type, keep it to one to four words, and use strong contrast between the fill, outline, and background. The presets here follow those rules.

The default canvas is widescreen 16:9. The downloaded dimensions depend on the model and resolution; resize the image to your required thumbnail size in an editor. Quick uses JPG, while Standard offers PNG output in the studio.

Quick offers experimental transparent PNG in the studio. Transparency has been checked on two low-quality 1K examples, not separately on every style; smoke, glow, and fine detail can leave semi-transparent edges. Standard and Pro currently retain a background, and image edits do not preserve transparency. For predictable transparent lettering with bundled font shapes, use Text to PNG at /tools/text-to-png. It creates new text graphics and does not remove backgrounds from AI images.
