How to use it
1
Load the thumbnail
Open Card Generator and load a thumbnail or import video details with the available URL control.
2
Review the displayed details
Edit the displayed title and channel information. Check the view text, time and duration shown in the preview.
3
Choose the presentation
Choose the theme and available presentation controls, then inspect the card.
4
Export the card
Use Download to export the rendered card as a PNG.
What happens
The export includes the card presentation around the image. It is different from downloading a raw generated thumbnail. Editing displayed metadata does not change the real YouTube video.Example
For a workshop slide:| Card element | Use |
|---|---|
| Thumbnail | The final image for your tutorial |
| Title | The tutorial’s actual title |
| Channel | Your channel name |
| Export | A PNG of the card for the slide |
Good to know
Card details are presentation text. Editable views and other metadata are not verified analytics. Export gives you a PNG, not a playable video.
