In Figma, you can add shapes, text, images and more to create an eye-catching design that will draw attention to whatever it is promoting. There are a number of tools in the left sidebar that give you complete control over how your design looks.

When you are happy with how your thumbnail looks, simply click on ‘Export’ from the menu bar and then choose where you want to save it. It should be saved as an image file such as .PNG or .JPG.
