Channel Identity Starts With Two Images
Thumbnails at 1280×720
The thumbnail is the image people decide on, shown everywhere from the home feed to suggested videos. The app builds it at YouTube's recommended 1280×720, with layouts like Class Schedule and Product Split Dark built around one large focal element.
Channel banner at 2560×1440
The banner is uploaded large but most devices show only a strip through the middle. Templates for it keep names and taglines in that central band so they survive on phones, desktops, and TVs.
A recognisable series
Viewers spot a creator by repeated colours, type, and placement before they read a title. Reuse one thumbnail layout across a series and change only the words and the photo.
Edit, do not rebuild
Your face cut-out, the headline, the background, and any arrows or badges are layers. Next week's thumbnail is a copy of this week's with the text swapped.

How to Make YouTube Graphics From a Template
Open the YouTube templates
The button opens Create with the YouTube formats ready. Choose thumbnail or channel banner, then a template or a blank canvas.
Swap in your video
Retype the title words, place a frame from your video or a photo of yourself, and set the colours to your channel's.
Push the contrast
Enlarge the main subject and the key words, move layers so nothing important sits in the corners, and drop anything that adds clutter.
Download for YouTube Studio
Preview it free at low resolution, then export the full-resolution image and upload it in YouTube Studio.

Or just ask
Describe the edit in your own words
Type what you want changed and the assistant does it on the canvas — each step lands as a layer you can reopen, so nothing it does is baked in.
