How it works
Title in, pack out.
One idea becomes three finished concepts with the words already on them. Pick one, or download all three and let the audience decide.
- 01
Describe the video
Paste your title and what viewers will discover. The concept planner designs three genuinely different visual bets: focal idea, emotion, and composition.
- 02
Match your channel's look
Point it at any YouTube channel or upload examples, and it learns the visual grammar, palette, energy, composition, without cloning faces or logos.
- 03
Words already on it
The model paints the hook straight into the artwork, outline, shadow and all, so every concept arrives finished. Score it, remix what the score flags, download.
What you get
Built for packaging, not just pictures.
A thumbnail is a promise about the video. Everything here is about making that promise clearer, testing it, and keeping it consistent with the rest of your channel.
- 01
5 free thumbnails every month
Full quality, no watermark, no card required.
- 02
Three concepts per generation
A, B and C explore different reasons to click. Download the pack and test.
- 03
Channel-style matching
Learn any channel's packaging style and reuse it forever.
- 04
Free text editing
Words are a separate layer. Change them any time at no cost.
- 05
AI remixing
"Brighter background, subject larger": edit the artwork with an instruction.
- 06
Preview in the wild
See your thumbnail in the home feed, search results, and at squint size.
