Make your own with canva or photoshop?

Or GIMP - have a look for TJ free he does lots of GIMP and INKSCAPE video's which are useful for things like this.

Well depending on how indepth you want it. For simple thumbnails? Watch your video, pause it at a moment you like. Load up Snip and Sketch (it is a program on all WIN computers, it used to be called snipper or something).

Use it on the paused video, save it. Then upload to youtube.

If you want it any further edited, there is a laundry list of programs and apps that you can use.

If you are only doing 1 or 2 a month, the free version of canva has you covered !
