Placeit, from Envato, is best known for mockups, but it also offers a large library of templates for YouTubers, including thumbnails, channel banners, intros, logos and end screens. Its thumbnail templates are especially popular with gaming, vlogging and tutorial channels.
Key features include:
- YouTube thumbnail templates for many niches
- Matching channel banners, logos, intros and end screens
- Realistic mockups for merch, devices and print
- Simple browser-based editor
- 100,000+ exclusive assets
- Unlimited downloads on the subscription, with commercial use
Because one subscription covers thumbnails, channel art, logos and merch mockups, Placeit is good value for creators building a full channel brand.
Placeit runs on an unlimited subscription that covers its mockups, templates and assets. On annual billing it works out to about $7.47 per month ($89.69 per year), and monthly billing costs more. A free account gives access to a limited selection of free templates.
Placeit’s editor is simpler than Canva’s, with less control over effects and layers. For creators who want thumbnails, channel art and merch mockups in one subscription, though, it’s great value.
