Although the Apps main purpose is to help everyone give a bit of a unique look to their daily photo challenge submissions I have fallen in love with the great selection of text overlays and quotes she has available. Little Moments is an App created by the amazing FatMumSlim who runs the #FMSPhotoADay Instagram Challenges. IMovie is on my MacBook but although I can’t exactly ‘edit’ my thumbnail within this as an App it is how I can play and freeze frame my video to capture a screenshot of the image I want to edit and use while on my phone. Oh and don’t forget your Thumbnails aren’t only to use for your actual video – creating eye-catching and appealing thumbnails from your videos is also a great way to promote across your social media presence – such as Instagram! Now, on to the Apps… 1.

It may be a few extra steps but it always gives me a Thumbnail that has a little something extra. Once I get it back to PicMonkey I can resize it for YouTube ( 641 x 341 pixels) and simply upload it as a Custom Thumbnail during my YouTube editing.

Then it is as easy as sending that final image back to my MacBook and completing the last needed touches in PicMonkey. I screen capture my desired thumbnail image in iMovie then AirDrop it to my phone where I can have a bit of extra fun editing on some of my favorite Apps.

So here are my Top 10 Apps for YouTube Thumbnail Editing. That’s when I discovered that sometimes using a ‘collage’ of different Apps can help.


There are times when iMovie or even PicMonkey aren’t enough to bring my YouTube Videos to the point I want them to be.
