How the studio works
Move anything with the mouse
- Drag a layer to move it. Guides snap it to the centre and to other layers.
- Drag a corner or edge handle to resize. Text keeps its font ratio on corners.
- Drag the round handle above the box to rotate. Hold Shift for 15° steps.
- Double-click text to edit it in place; click outside or press Esc to finish.
- Red × handle removes the selected layer with one click.
- Right-click any layer for duplicate, delete, stacking and lock actions.
- Delete or Backspace also removes the selection.
Add your own artwork
Drop an SVG, PNG, JPEG or WebP on the canvas, or use the Upload tab. SVGs are sanitised in the browser: scripts, event handlers, external links and XML entities are removed before drawing.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, answered.
Is the 2D Thumbnail Studio really free?
Yes. Every shape, icon, illustration, template and export size is free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
Can I move, resize and delete any layer?
Yes. Click a layer on the canvas to select it, drag the body to move it, drag a corner handle to resize it, use the round handle to rotate it, and click the red × handle (or press Delete) to remove it. The layers panel and the right-click menu expose the same actions.
Do my files get uploaded?
No. Images, SVG icons and project files are read in your browser and never leave the tab. There is no upload endpoint on the server.
Can I use my own SVG icons and illustrations?
Yes. Drop an SVG, PNG, JPEG or WebP file on the canvas, or use the Upload tab. Imported SVGs are sanitised in your browser: scripts, event handlers, external references and DOCTYPE entities are removed before anything is drawn.
What can I export?
PNG with transparency, JPEG and WebP at 1280x720, 1920x1080, 2560x1440 or 3840x2160. You can also save an editable project file and reload it later.
Are the templates editable?
Every template is a real scene of separate layers, not a flat image. Open one and you can recolour its shapes, retype its text, replace its icon and delete anything you do not need.
Does it work on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The editor uses pointer events, so dragging, resizing and the touch-friendly inspector all work on modern mobile browsers.
Can I use the templates commercially?
Yes. The 50 templates, the icons, the illustrations and the shapes are original SVG Nexus work released for unrestricted use, including commercial videos.
