YouTube Shorts Cover Maker

The YouTube shorts cover is the vertical tile subscribers see on the Shorts shelf and the channel's Shorts tab, on the watch page, in search and on the home feed. Below is the exact YouTube shorts cover workflow — Reel Cover Maker at 9:16 · 1080×1920, then the one or two chained tools that finish the job — and a button that opens the Studio with all of it prefilled.

YouTube audiences respond to a YouTube shorts cover that is bold, high-contrast and readable at phone size, so that is where the preset starts. Every result lands in your rail, where a YouTube shorts cover can be edited with a sentence, reframed for another platform, upscaled or animated without starting over.
