how to make a thumbnail for youtube with gimp

Post in comments if you want me to do another tutorial! If soo, what about!Īllow me to explain because i so happen to be an expert on this subject! Call it what you want, save it in a file that will be easy to get to. On gimp, click 'File' then click 'Export as'. Go onto Text Craft, a nifty little minecraft text generator, then once you have made your text, save that. Use the same instructions as the background step.

When the screenshot comes up, right click it and save it. When you have done this, click on the camera button on the top. *if you've made your skin there, if you haven't, skip this step* Once you have your skin, click on the 'Pose' button and pose your character to it's desired position. If not, skip this step! Go onto novaskins and find your skin. In your picture, your probably going to want your minecraft skin in it. Then line it up to the size of your canvas. When it opens, it should fill up the canvas, if for some reason it hasn't done that, click the 'Scale tool' from the tool box.

In gimp, you cant paste pictures in, so what you need to do is go to 'File' in the top left, and click on 'Open as layers'. Now, once you have found your desired background, save it onto your computer in a file that you can easily find. Then it should come up with summin like this. Go onto google and find a great background, type into google images, Shaders Mod Minecraft. When it pops up, change the 640 part to 1280, then change the 400 part to 720, this is the best quality for youtube thumbnails. Once you've downloaded gimp, click on 'File' in the top left and then click 'New'. Of course, your going to need to download a few bits-and-bobs first! I recommend downloading gimp! It's a great photo editer, and it's absolutely free! It doesn't take up much space at all! Hey there, thanks for clicking on this! It means a lot! Today, i'll be showing you how to make a minecraft themed thumbnail for your youtube channel! Enjoy!
