Questions and answers
What people ask before they start.
What size is a YouTube thumbnail?
1280 × 720 px (16:9), the size YouTube recommends. Download it as a JPEG or PNG and upload it with your video.
Can I remove the background from my photo?
Yes, on a desktop or laptop: select the photo and press Bg remove. It runs in your browser, so your photo is not uploaded anywhere.
Is Layquil free?
Yes, every feature is free. You can start designing without an account; downloading and printing need a free account, which you create by signing in with Google.
Why do I need an account to download or print?
You can create and edit designs as a guest. Downloading and printing need a free account, and a design you made as a guest is added to your account when you sign in.
