YouTube thumbnail generator that starts from your title
Start with what you already have: your title. Add your face or a reference image, get options built for your game, and pick the one that reads best.
How it works
Title in, options out
You don't start with a blank canvas. You describe the video and the generator builds the thumbnail around it.
- +Type your video title
- +Pick a look built for your game
- +Add your face or your own reference images
- +Review the options, regenerate until it reads right
Make it yours
Your face, your references
Generic thumbnails look generic. Bring your own images so the result looks like your channel, not everyone's.
- +Drop in your face so the thumbnail features you
- +Add reference images to steer the look
- +Swap a reference and run it again
- +Looks built for Minecraft, NBA 2K and Roblox

Remaster it instead of redoing it
If you've got a thumbnail that's close, Remaster gives you a fresh version of it. You keep the idea and lose the problems.
Generator or maker
Pick the starting point you want
They're two doors into the same studio. Both end at a finished 16:9 thumbnail.
| Generator | Start from your title and get options to choose from |
|---|---|
| Maker | Build by hand from a template or a blank layout |
| Export | 16:9, up to 2K, no watermark |
Before you publish
Check it at the size people see
Whatever you make, look at it small. Our thumbnail preview shows it in the mobile feed, search and sidebar, and the thumbnail checker rates a live video by its link.

"I used to spend 1 hour on thumbnails. Now with LaunchLens it takes 10 minutes. I love it. I recommend it for small creators just starting out."
"I was using Photoshop before. The tools like Reshoot and Lightning are exactly what I needed."
"I used to pay for these on Fiverr. LaunchLens is way cooler."
Questions, answered straight.
How do I generate a YouTube thumbnail?+
Sign up, enter your video title, pick a look for your game, and add your face or a reference image. You get options to choose from, then you can regenerate or edit.
Is the thumbnail generator free?+
You can start free. Every new account gets free credits on signup with no card, and exports have no watermark.
What's the difference between the generator and the maker?+
The generator starts from your title and hands you options. The maker is for building by hand from a template or a blank layout. Both finish as a 16:9 thumbnail.
Can I use my own face?+
Yes. Add your face and the thumbnail is built around you.
Can I improve a thumbnail I already made?+
Yes. Run Remaster on it to get a fresh version without starting over.
What size are the thumbnails?+
They export at 16:9, 1376 x 768 by default or 2752 x 1536 at 2K, which meets YouTube's size rules.
Will the thumbnail get me more clicks?+
We can't promise that, and nobody honestly can. We help you make one that reads clearly on a phone, which is the part you control.
Title in. Thumbnail out.
