Video Thumbnail
Generate scroll-stopping video thumbnails sized exactly for your target platform — YouTube (1280×720), YouTube Shorts / TikTok / Instagram Reels (1080×1920), or Instagram Square (1080×1080). The AI composes your headline text, optional creator face photo, optional channel logo, and a style-matched background into one high-contrast, mobile-readable thumbnail. Defaults to 3 distinct variations per job so you can A/B test against your audience without spending another credit budget. Ideal for YouTubers, course creators, podcasters, gaming streamers, news channels, and any creator who ships video at any cadence.

What You Need
This service requires the following inputs to process your request.
Platform
RequiredselectPick the destination platform — sets the exact aspect ratio and pixel dimensions of the output thumbnail.
Title text
RequiredtextThe headline that appears on the thumbnail. Short and punchy works best — 4-8 words for horizontal, 3-5 for vertical. Question marks, numbers, and emotional adjectives all boost CTR.
Subject photo (optional)
imageUpload a photo of the creator's face, the product, or the central character you want featured prominently. The AI preserves identity and renders the subject at thumbnail-appropriate scale. Skip this for faceless / news / finance channels.
Brand logo (optional)
imageUpload your channel logo, brand mark, or watermark. Placed as a small corner mark (~8-10% of frame width) so it's recognizable without dominating the composition. Transparent PNG works best.
Style
selectOverall mood and visual treatment. "Bold" is the highest-CTR default; pick a niche-specific preset for stylistic alignment with your channel.

Video Thumbnail — FAQ
What does the Video Thumbnail service create?
It generates AI-designed thumbnail images aimed at higher click-through for YouTube, Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. You get a digital image file, not a scheduled or uploaded thumbnail, and results vary between runs since the output is AI-generated.
What do I need to provide?
At minimum you provide a title or the text you want featured. You can optionally add a face photo and a logo to include in the design.
How much does it cost?
The base cost is 3 credits per run, and every new account starts with 3 free credits that never expire. Higher resolution or more outputs cost more, and additional credits are available as INR packs once your free credits run out.
