Designing YouTube thumbnails shouldn’t be difficult...

Every time you need to design a new thumbnail for your video, you feel this pain of anxiety. You’re not an artist, and you’re not looking to hire one.

Learning Photoshop is hard and time-consuming

There was a time when you needed to learn programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator.

Pixelied is a designer's paradise. We've collected all the tools that you need to design YouTube thumbnails for your videos. It's super easy to use and you don't need to know anything about design principles, fonts, different styles of graphics, or even know how to use Photoshop or Illustrator.

With Pixelied, your average graphic job takes just minutes!

Get top quality designs – without paying big bucks

No matter whether you hire a designer or learn all about graphics yourself, either way, you lose time. A lot of it. And as well as wasting your valuable time, your business gets delayed.

You can always outsource the work, which often ends up costing the same amount of money as if you were to do it yourself. (Not to mention the fact that outsourcing will take just as long)

Get those stunning YouTube thumbnails you need and cut down on your workload in one simple step with YouTube thumbnail maker!

Using online design tools is often frustrating and slow

Too many hours and poor quality. That’s what you get with most online design tools. It's time-consuming and frustrating. You never know what you are going to get out of the tool.

Pixelied makes it easy for you to create your own YouTube thumbnails from any image or text, add your favorite fonts and have it all ready within seconds.

Keeping up with multiple tools and subscriptions

As a content creator, you have to create multiple thumbnails, remove background images, use stock photos, upload vectors, realistic mockups, and team collaboration that are relevant and engaging to your audience.

To do this, you need to have access to the best design tools available. However, the cost of subscribing to multiple design services can be quite high. Pixelied is a design service that gives you access to multiple design solutions in one place.
