Snappa is a simple online graphic design tool built for speed. Choose the YouTube channel art preset, pick a template or start blank, and create a clean banner in minutes. There’s very little to learn, which makes it popular with new YouTubers, bloggers and marketers.
Key features include:
- Preset YouTube channel art size and other social formats
- Thousands of templates
- Millions of free high-resolution stock photos
- Graphics, shapes, fonts and text effects
- One-click background removal
- Resize designs for thumbnails and other platforms
- Social sharing via Buffer on paid plans
Because the channel art size is preset, you don’t need to look up dimensions or worry about safe areas being cropped on different devices.
The free Starter plan includes templates and stock photos, but downloads are limited to three per month. Pro costs about $10 per month billed annually ($15 monthly) with unlimited downloads, custom fonts and social integrations. Team costs about $20 per month billed annually ($30 monthly) for up to five users.
Snappa has fewer AI features and templates than Canva, and the free plan is very limited. For quick, simple YouTube banners, though, it’s fast and easy.
