## What's Inside

- **Thumbnail editor** — text, image and shape layers on a 1280×720 canvas, exported as a YouTube-ready PNG or JPEG under 2 MB.
- **Thumbnail grabber** — paste any video link and download its thumbnail at every available resolution.
- **Metadata generators** — turn a topic and keywords into title ideas, a description template, and a deduplicated tag list.
- **Chapters** — build clean `MM:SS Chapter` timestamp lists that start at `00:00`.
- **Embed builder** — generate `youtube-nocookie.com` embed code with the options you actually want.

## Private by Design

Rendering, editing and export happen entirely in your browser. Your design autosaves to your own device — nothing is uploaded to a server, and you never need a YouTube API key or an account.

## How to Use

1. **Open the Studio** — start from a template or a blank 1280×720 canvas.
2. **Compose** — add text, images and shapes; everything renders live in your browser.
3. **Export & package** — download a YouTube-ready image (≤2 MB) plus titles, tags, chapters and embed code.
