THREE QUIET STEPS

Pick, title, export.

01 / PICK

Capture a frame.

Scrub the video and capture the still you want. The cover is composed from that frame, not a live video.

02 / TITLE

Place the words.

Add a title and optional subtitle, choose top, centre or bottom, and control the dark overlay that keeps text readable.

03 / EXPORT

Choose the canvas.

YouTube 1280×720, Shorts 1080×1920, a 1200×630 social card or a square. PNG or JPG.

WHAT THE COVER DOES

Built for the crop, not against it.

01

Cover, not stretch.

The captured frame is cropped to fill the chosen canvas, so faces and edges keep their proportions.

02

Readable by default.

A gradient overlay sits behind the text. You can dial it down or remove it entirely.

03

Local composition.

The frame, title and export are handled in this tab. Nothing is uploaded.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you export the cover.

Which cover sizes are included?

YouTube 1280 × 720, Shorts/Reels 1080 × 1920, a social card at 1200 × 630 and a square at 1080 × 1080. Each uses a cover crop, never a stretch.

Can I use my own image instead of a video?

Not on this page. The tool captures a frame from a local video. Use the Crop & Resize or Text & Annotations tools for an existing still.

Does the title wrap?

Yes. Title and subtitle wrap to 86% of the canvas width, and the block is positioned as a whole so it never runs off the edge.

Is the frame capture frame-accurate?

It is time-based. The browser seeks to the current time and captures the nearest displayable frame. The captured timestamp is shown under the preview.

Is my video or title uploaded?

No. The frame is decoded, composed and exported locally. Your media is not uploaded, and no account is needed.
