Crop ratio
16:9 first
Future UI will keep the crop frame aligned with YouTube thumbnail proportions.
Local 16:9 crop
YouTube Thumbnail Cropper
Reserve a browser-based cropper for preparing YouTube thumbnail images in a 16:9 creator workflow.
Early preview - noindex until the workflow is fully usable
Planned workflow
Creator image workspace
This page is reserved for a future client-side tool. TubeSnaps will keep image processing local in the browser first, and only use Cloudflare R2 or D1 when a later feature explicitly needs stored media or metadata.
Workflow
Crop then resize
Creators can crop composition first, then move to 1280x720 resizing.
Preview
Mobile checks
A later version can show how the crop reads in small YouTube surfaces.
Storage
Local-first
The cropper should not upload images unless future export features require explicit storage.
