The record

Product: ThumbReady is a browser-based editor for making YouTube thumbnails and podcast covers.
Templates: The editor offers twelve templates across six categories: gaming, daily vlog, tutorial, review and unboxing, reaction, and podcast interview.
Editing tools: Users can add photos or screenshots, cut people out of backgrounds, add outlined text, arrows, circles, highlights, and emoji, and move, rotate, and scale elements.
Preview and scoring: The editor previews designs at thumbnail display size and scores readability out of 100.
Export sizes: It exports at pixel dimensions for YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Instagram, and TikTok, in PNG or JPG.
Mobile use: The browser editor supports touch gestures, including dragging, rotating, resizing, and pinching with two fingers, with nothing to install.
Privacy: Photos are processed in the user's browser and are not uploaded to a server.
Offline use: The editor continues working without an internet connection after the page has loaded.
Draft storage: Projects are saved in the browser's storage, and clearing browser data clears the draft.
Image size limit: The editor handles photos up to about 25 MP and automatically scales down larger ones.
Cut-out limitation: Background removal works better on people in well-lit portraits than on loose objects, and may struggle with flyaway hair or clothing that matches the background.
Business model: The editor is free and funded by advertising; the About page says there is no premium tier or credit system.
Support: The site lists [email protected] as its contact email.
Maker: The About page describes ThumbReady as a small independent project.
