Style
Your photo (optional — your face or the product)
A clear, well-lit photo gives the best result. Only add photos of yourself or ones you have permission to use.
Anything you add is sent to our AI provider only to make your result, then deleted. Failed jobs are refunded automatically.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
43 AI credits for each image, made with Nano Banana Pro, which writes text in images clearly. Every account gets free AI credits each day, and credit packs start at ₹199 for 300 credits. If an image fails, the credits are refunded automatically.
What size is the thumbnail?
It's made in 16:9 at high resolution, so it fits YouTube's 1280 × 720 thumbnail perfectly. If YouTube says the file is over 2 MB, run it through our free Compress Image tool.
How many words should I use?
Three to five words work best — thumbnails are tiny on phones. Use the video title for the title, and a short punchy phrase for the thumbnail.
Can I use my own face?
Yes — add a clear photo of yourself and the AI puts you into the thumbnail. Please only use photos of yourself or people who have agreed.
How do I upload it to YouTube?
In YouTube Studio open the video, click Thumbnail → Upload file and choose the downloaded image.
Thumbnails get the click
On YouTube, the thumbnail decides whether people click. A clear face, a few big words and strong colours beat a busy picture every time. Make a few versions with different words and styles, then use YouTube's “Test & compare” to see which one wins.
