Thumbnails or Banners, or simply say an image that briefly describes a content. It is basically the very first thing, a user sees before viewing any content, be it a blog post, videos, e-books, or anything related to this which includes pictures. It is generally the first impression that a user gets about a product, its quality, its content, and everything else that the original creator would like its viewers to know about.

Let us take an example from YouTube, we get across hundreds of videos on this popular streaming platform, but we try to only a few ones that give interest. If I go across few videos, I usually first see the thumbnail. Just by seeing the thumbnail, I get few thoughts on how the particular video might be. If I see the thumbnail is ugly, or simply say not catchy and not appealing, I simply ignore that video and go ahead in search of videos I would think yeah this is something worth a try.

The same goes for every kind of content. So you must have come to know, how important a beautiful and appealing thumbnail is for attracting visitors to see your content.

Here we will discuss a few applications that you can use on your PC or a Laptop for creating banners and thumbnails, editing pictures, and whatnot. All applications listed in this article won’t bother you with Watermarks.
