How do I create a thumbnail?

Just paste your YouTube video URL into the app. We’ll automatically pull the video and analyze it. Then, type in a short prompt like “make it cinematic” or “highlight the main character.” Within seconds, you’ll get multiple thumbnails to choose from. It’s that easy.

Do I need to upload my video?

Nope! As long as your video is public on YouTube, we can fetch it directly. There’s no need to upload large files — everything happens behind the scenes automatically.

What kind of prompts can I use?

Use plain language. You can say things like “make it brighter,” “add energy,” or “zoom in on the face.” The AI understands a wide range of creative instructions and applies them visually to the thumbnail.

Can I make changes after generating a thumbnail?

Yes! After generation, you can tweak the design by entering a new prompt or create variations based on the current one. You’re free to explore different looks until you find the perfect fit.

Is there a free trial?

We’re offering a free thumbnail to the first 1,000 users. It’s a great way to try the app and see how fast and easy thumbnail creation can be—no payment required.

Can I use the thumbnails on my YouTube channel?

Absolutely. Once you generate a thumbnail, it’s yours to use. Download it and upload it directly to your video — no watermarks, no restrictions.
