Free software for making graphics? You got it!

Yeah PicMonkey or PhotoScape are what I use.

There's a web app called Pixlr Editor which you could use to create thumbnails

I use Gimp now for all of my thumbnails.

I think paint.net is a good software, and i'm think there is a site that's called picmonkey which is good to use

I do not think that Paint.NET is useful at all. I would go for GIMP if I had to choose here.

Just letting you know in my opinion Pixlr Editor is a great online software to create all of your channel art. Thumbnails, banner, profile picture, etc. It takes me a few minutes to create one for each video. it is like the little brother of PhotoShop so i recommend going for Pixlr Editor.

I tried using Gimp but thought it was too complicated, paint.net basically does the same and is simpler, there are lots of add-ons that you can download for it to make it do more, and you can download fonts from dafont for free

I'd like to know the best program or software to create thumbnails, I still haven't got to making thumbnails on my videos but i'd like to know what software to use. I know photoshop is a good one bu it's too expensive, I'd like one that's free. thx

Inkscape is a free open source photoshop. You can create vector images on multiple layers. Thats how I make my thumbnails with cool lettering.

i used to use gimp, theres some tools i found somewhere to make it a bit more like photoshop, but you can get a photoshop trial free i think its also only like £7 per month to buy

Paint.

I know. But, sometimes you need a quick thumbnail and it's the lightest program out there haha

I think picmonkey is best especially if you know nothing about design software. It is so easy to use.
