Thumbnail color tinting.

Pick a bold tone that contrasts with the platform: teal stands out on YouTube's red, orange on LinkedIn's blue. Contrast gets the click.

For recognition, yes. A consistent color signature works like a visual watermark; viewers know the content is yours at a glance.

Warm colors feel urgent, cool colors trustworthy, and contrast matters more than either. Test with your audience.

No. The browser decodes the file, a canvas does the work and the result is built on your device; the page makes no request with your image. You can load it, go offline and keep working.

Nothing. The "Thumbnail color tinting" tool holds your input in the page's memory, so closing or reloading the tab clears it, and it saves nothing in this browser.

Up to 100 MB per file, the limit the tool states under its drop area. A larger file is refused with a plain message instead of being decoded.

No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.

The edit is written as a PNG because PNG stores every pixel exactly, with a full alpha channel, so the result can be edited again without a second round of loss.

No. The browser decodes the image and the tool writes a new file from its pixels, so camera EXIF, GPS position and text chunks in the original are not copied into the result. Keep the original file if you need them.
