HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to a click-worthy thumbnail

No briefs. No Photoshop. No design rabbit hole.

Step 1

Drop your idea

Type the video subject in plain English — "shocked reaction to GTA 6 trailer". The prompt is enough.

Step 2

AI generates 5 variants

Niche-tuned composition, face placement, and copy — five options, side-by-side, in 20 seconds.

Step 3

Export YouTube-spec

1280×720, ≤2 MB, JPEG — ready to drop into YouTube Studio.

FROM PROMPT TO PUBLISH

Ship a click-worthy thumbnail in three moves

No design files. No revisions. Just describe, generate, and export.

1

Describe your video

One sentence in plain English — the prompt engine handles composition, face, and copy.

2

AI generates 4 variants

Niche-tuned, side-by-side options in under 20 seconds — different hooks, faces, and palettes.

3

Pick winner + download 1280×720

Export YouTube-spec JPEG, drop straight into Studio, ship before your coffee cools.

INSIDE THE STUDIO

Everything in the thumbnail studio

Generation, brand kit, variants, and export — wired together so you can ship without context-switching.

A/B variants
