YouTube thumbnail templates

6 templates shown at 1280×720, each a real render from the API. Change the text, then render one with an API call, a signed URL or a batch from a spreadsheet.

Thumbnails with a big title and a highlighted word, a face cut-out, a tool logo or a live badge. They render at 16:9, the shape YouTube asks for, at twice the preset size, so the file is sharp on any screen.

Render one

Send the template slug, your text and the size, and the image URL comes back in seconds. Every template lays itself out for every size preset (og 1200×630, square 1080×1080, portrait 1080×1350, story 1080×1920, pinterest 1000×1500, youtube 1280×720), so `sizes` gives you several formats from one request.
