_Learn how you can make high quality thumbnails on mobile!_
Over the past few months, I've made more thumbnails than I can count – for more creators than I can keep track of. In this video, I walk you through each step of my workflow. I really hope this helps, and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions at all :)
Although I am using a tablet in this video for demonstration purposes, all the same software and tools are available on phone.
