How YouTube Title & Thumbnail Preview works
Everything is drawn or encoded on your device, so drafts stay private until you post them. Title widths are measured with your browser fonts against each layout.
Input: Text, JPG, PNG. Output: Preview.

YouTube Title & Thumbnail Preview FAQ
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. This tool runs entirely in your browser tab. Files are read from your disk into memory and the result is generated locally.

- Free and open source (MIT). There are no file-size caps, daily quotas, accounts or watermarks.
- Does it work offline?
- Yes, once the page (and any engine it needs) has loaded, it keeps working without a connection thanks to the service worker cache.
