Thumbnails and product shots from a phone
Pixelcut does background removal, upscaling and text-behind-subject on a phone, which covers a thumbnail between filming and uploading. The free tier exports without a watermark, which is unusual and is most of the reason to try it. Anybody working on a desktop with a real editor open will outgrow it.

Mockups, logos and thumbnails from templates
Placeit is the fastest way to see your design on a shirt, a mug or a phone, which is what a merch listing needs before anything has been printed. Logos, gaming overlays and thumbnail templates come with the same subscription. Everything is a template, so two creators who both use it end up looking related.
