Turn your idea into a YouTube thumbnail.

Create a YouTube thumbnail from your video idea, with optional photos of you or your product. You can also review an existing thumbnail and compare up to three options before choosing what to publish.

One full-resolution thumbnail in Balanced quality, with a watermark and one optional reference image. Sign up to create and download it. No credit card is needed. Reviews and additional thumbnails use paid credits.

A new thumbnail costs 1 credit in Draft, 2 in Balanced, or 4 in Premium. A review costs 1 credit per thumbnail. You always see the cost before starting. Creating three Balanced thumbnails and reviewing all three uses 9 credits.

A review helps you spot issues with readability, contrast, composition and how well the image supports your title. It is advisory, not a prediction of clicks or views. Test your final choices with your audience.

Yes. Add a face, product or other image you have permission to use. Paid access supports up to two references and watermark-free downloads. Your thumbnails and reviews stay together in your Library.

Use prompts and reference images you have the rights or permission to use, and review the result before publishing. Generated images do not automatically clear copyright or trademark rights. The image provider may reject a request under its content rules; a generic rejection does not tell us whether copyright was the reason. We cannot guarantee that a particular character, brand, or style request will be accepted.

When a generation fails without producing a result, ThumbFocus restores the reserved credits or free attempt. If recovery is delayed, contact support with the failed attempt from your Library so we can check the record. A successfully generated image uses credits even if you decide not to publish it.

From video idea uses your title, description, and references to guide the subject and audience. References are starting material for a new composition. Add the mood and visual changes you want in the description. Choose Automatic headline to request a short headline from your idea, Use my text for exact wording, or No text for artwork without lettering. Text is useful when it adds context, but is not required for a strong thumbnail. Results vary; review the image and refine the brief when needed.

Manage or cancel your subscription in Billing. Your plan stays available until the end of its paid period. Monthly credits do not roll over. If a service failure produces no usable result, reserved credits are restored automatically where possible; support can help with any unresolved request.
