- +LaunchLens watches the video and makes the thumbnail, using your title and your current thumbnail as the look
What it looks at
What does it use from my video?
It watches the video itself, so the thumbnail shows what actually happens in it. Your title sets what the thumbnail has to sell, and your current thumbnail sets the style, so the new one still looks like your channel.
Which videos
Which videos does it work on?
Any public, full-length YouTube video. Shorts and private videos are not supported yet. New accounts get one free thumbnail. After that it uses credits like any other thumbnail.
Size
What size will my thumbnail be?
A YouTube thumbnail is 16:9. YouTube recommends 1280x720 or larger, with a minimum width of 640 pixels, as a JPG or PNG. The thumbnail comes out at 16:9, so it fits with no cropping.

19,000+ creators have signed up and made 33,000+ thumbnails. Real reviews, collected through Senja.
