This is an insight into how I make thumbnails on my phone. It is not the only way to make thumbnails, it is just my preferred method.

Step 1. Download the app Adobe Photoshop Mix. Boot up the app, create a free Adobe ID, and you're ready to go.

Step 2. Get the template. Find a transparent Death Battle template to use (I personally use the Ryu vs Scorpion template). You can find some at https://deathbattlefanon.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:AgentHoxton/NEW_Death_Battle_Thumbnail_Template

Step 3. Get the character images of your choice. With me, I always go with official and transparent renders, but this is not required.

Step 4. Get a background relevant to your fight (such as space for two characters from space or a city at night for two vigilantes). If your using transparent renders, this is strongly recommended to bring more flair, but if the images have backgrounds of their own, this step can be skipped.

Step 5. Create a project in the app by pressing the plus button.

Step 6. Use the template as your starting image.

Step 7. Add the other images by pressing the plus button on the right, this automatically puts them on their own layer. Make sure to press cancel when it asks to resize the image with the addition of a new image.

Step 8. Rearrange the layers (you can do this by simply taking the images shown on the right and dragging them up or down) such that the template is on top, the characters (in whatever order) are in the middle, and that the background is on the bottom.

Step 9. Drag the characters and resize to your pleasing to better the composition. Do the same for the background.

Step 10. Back out to the start menu, press the arrow on the image, and press the middle icon, then press save to gallery. You can then upload the image. (If you encounter bugs in the process, restart the app. Your progress autosaves.)

You can then upload the final product to the wiki. I am by no means a thumbnail expert, and other users with different methods have made better thumbnails than mine. But if your stuck on a phone and need a quick thumbnail, or a phone is your only option, this method will work great. Best of all, the process only takes a few minutes once you've got it down.
