Picsart is a mobile-first photo and video editor that has grown into a full design platform. It’s popular with YouTubers who want bold, expressive thumbnails with cut-out faces, stickers, glows and dramatic effects, and it works just as well on a phone as on a computer.
Key features include:
- YouTube thumbnail templates
- One-tap background removal and replacement
- AI image generation and AI photo effects
- Stickers, outlines, glows, fonts and creative effects
- Face and photo retouching tools
- Brand kits on paid plans
- Apps for iOS, Android, web and desktop
Its large creator community shares remixable templates and stickers, which makes it easy to find trendy thumbnail styles.
The free plan includes basic editing tools and limited AI access. Pro costs about $10.50 per month billed yearly ($15 monthly) and unlocks all editing features and unlimited image generation. Ultra costs about $24.50 per month billed yearly ($45 monthly) and adds early-access AI features, more brand kits and storage.
Picsart’s many features can feel busy. For creators who want expressive, effect-heavy thumbnails, especially on mobile, though, it’s excellent.
