Minecraft Thumbnail Editor
Make the whole Minecraft thumbnail on MCRender: your skin, mobs, builds, mods and a title on one canvas, then export it for YouTube, Shorts and Instagram.
Customise your player
Load any Java or Bedrock skin by username, then pose it one limb at a time and kit it out from the inventory.
- Rotate, move or scale the head, body, arms and legs, with symmetry
- Full armor sets with any armor trim, enchanted or not
- Any item in the main hand or offhand, modded items included
- Hurt tint, clipping and shading in one click
Pose any mob
Every vanilla mob and its variants. Click a mob's head, horns or legs to turn just that part, so the cow can look straight down the lens.
- Rotate, move or scale one part or the whole mob
- Reset or hide a part, or mirror the pose
- New variants like the cold cow
Armies
Turn one player or mob into a crowd, a ring or a tower. Pose one of them and every copy follows.
- Block, crowd, regiments, line, circle, semicircle, stadium and tower
- Rows, layers, radius and spacing, plus a messiness slider so it doesn't look copy-pasted
- Everyone facing in or facing out
Builds
Import a schematic or build in the scene builder. Set the camera, time of day and sky, then drop it in behind your players.
- .schem, .litematic and structure files
- 1,160 blocks to build with, light sources included
- Reopen the scene later and the layer updates
Mods and resource packs
Import a mod's .jar and its mobs, blocks and items sit next to the vanilla ones. Alex's Mobs added 111 mobs, 37 blocks and 301 items in one go.
- Pose modded mobs bone by bone
- A resource pack per design, so each thumbnail keeps its own look
Pixel art
Draw your own icon on a grid from 8×8 up to 128×128, give it an outline, then extrude it into a 3D model you can spin.
- Pencil, eraser, fill, line and shapes with a Minecraft-style palette
- Saved drawings work in any design
Every size
Keep the YouTube thumbnail, the Shorts cover and the Instagram post in one project. Switch size and the design re-fits.
- YouTube 1280×720, Shorts / TikTok / Reels 720×1280, Instagram 720×720
- PNG up to 4K, or a layered PSD
Also new
- 3D Minecraft-style titles and bold YouTube fonts
- Glow, outlines, shading, masks and colour grading on any layer
- Magic select cuts your character out of a gameplay screenshot
- Drop in a PSD and keep its layers
- Share an unlisted link to the finished image
- Works on your phone in Safari or Chrome
