About the end screen maker

End screen elements are added in YouTube Studio on top of your video, so the video itself needs empty space where they go and a short message telling people what to click. This maker gives you a layout with those spaces marked; export the background, put it at the end of your edit, then place the elements over the guides in Studio.

Who it’s for

Creators who want every video to end with a clean, consistent end screen, and editors who prepare end screen backgrounds for clients.

What makes it different

  • Drop a thumbnail or your channel icon straight onto each placeholder to preview the finished end screen.
  • Drag placeholders anywhere and resize them with the green corner — just like placing elements in YouTube Studio.
  • Download the clean background for your video, or a preview image with the thumbnails included.
  • Layouts for 2 videos + subscribe, 1 video + subscribe and series episodes, with the 4-element limit built in.

How to make a YouTube end screen

  1. 1Pick a layout — 2 videos + subscribe, 1 video + subscribe, or series.
  2. 2Drag the placeholders where you want the elements and pull the green corner to resize them. Drop a thumbnail or your channel icon onto each to see the finished screen.
  3. 3Set a background colour, gradient or photo and add a short call to action like “Watch this next”.
  4. 4Download the PNG — placeholders are left out by default — and put it in the last 5–20 seconds of your video.
  5. 5In YouTube Studio, add end screen elements and line them up with the spaces you left.

Tips

  • Leave the element spaces empty — YouTube places clickable thumbnails on top of them.
  • Say what to do: “Watch this next” works better than a generic “Thanks for watching”.
  • End screens need a video at least 25 seconds long and can last 5–20 seconds.

End Screen Maker FAQ

What size is a YouTube end screen?

It’s part of your video, so it matches the video size — 1920×1080 for a 1080p upload. YouTube supports up to four elements, and at least one must be a video or playlist.

Does this add the clickable elements?

No. Those are added in YouTube Studio. This maker designs the background with space for them.

How long should the end screen be?

Between 5 and 20 seconds, and the video must be at least 25 seconds long.
