How it works

Make a thumbnail in four steps.

  1. 01

    Start from something

    Describe the thumbnail in words, or paste the link to a video you already published and say what should change.

  2. 02

    Add your face

    Optional. Save it once and it goes into any scene, with the expression you ask for. No green screen.

  3. 03

    Generate

    It builds the whole thumbnail, scene, lighting and text, in about a minute.

  4. 04

    Change it, download it

    Ask for changes in plain words and it edits what you already like. Download at 16:9, ready for YouTube.

Questions

Answered straight.

How does this YouTube thumbnail maker work?

Describe the thumbnail in words, or paste the link to a video you already published and say what should change. It builds the whole thumbnail in about a minute, and you change it by asking in plain words.

Is it free?

Yes. Every account gets 90 credits on signup with no card, and a thumbnail costs 30 credits. The thumbnail check at launchlens.tech/free-thumbnail-audit needs no account at all.

How is this different from Canva or Photoshop?

Those hand you a canvas and tools. This builds the whole thumbnail for you: you say what the video is, add your face if you want it, and it does the design work. No design skills needed.

Can I put my own face in the thumbnail?

Yes. Save your face once and it goes into any scene, and you can change the expression from calm to hyped without taking a new selfie.

Which games does it know?

It is built for gaming. Minecraft, Roblox, Fortnite, NBA 2K, GTA and 20 more each have their own page and a gallery of free templates, 605 in all. Your game not being listed is not a problem: describe it and it builds the scene.

How many thumbnails can I make?

A thumbnail costs 30 credits. Starter ($9/mo) includes 900 credits, about 30 thumbnails. Pro ($25/mo) includes 2,750 credits, about 91 thumbnails. Max ($50/mo) includes 6,000 credits, about 200 thumbnails.

What size are the thumbnails?

16:9. They export at 1376 x 768 by default or 2752 x 1536 at 2K, which meets YouTube's size rules.

Do I own the thumbnails I make?

Yes. You can use them on your YouTube videos, social posts and marketing.

Is there a watermark on the free plan?

No. No plan adds a watermark, and nothing is blurred until you pay.
