Answers & Discussion
Photopea is great if you want Photoshop-style control for free in the browser. It has more of a learning curve than Canva, but it gives you layers and proper editing tools.
Canva is the easiest answer. Use a template, swap the photo, keep the text short and make sure it is readable on a phone. The biggest beginner mistake is putting too many words on the thumbnail.
