FOR WHO

One engine. Every kind of channel.

Thumbnail Gods adapts to who you are and what you make.

01 / CREATORS

For Creators

Vloggers, gamers, food creators, and solo YouTubers. Turn each source into editable, feed-ready directions that still look like you.

02 / PROFESSIONALS

For Professionals

Companies and agencies in real estate, media, or journalism. Keep production consistent with shared brand kits, templates, and reviews.

03 / FACELESS

For Faceless Channels

Animation, explainer, and compilation channels. Bold thumbnails with zero face: pure concept, text, and style.

Real footage, real you

Build fresh thumbnails from real source moments

When you provide footage, concepts can draw from its real subjects, setting, and moments. Briefs and references can also drive a fully composed direction.

01 / Keep the real you

Cropped straight from your footage

When a usable frame is detected, use the real shot as an editable starting point. Refine the crop, cleanup, headline, and layers while keeping the source moment recognizable.

02 / A whole new scene

Or a whole new thumbnail

Use a selected frame or reference to guide identity and clothing where possible, while composing a new background and hook as separately editable layers.

Real source material in, editable directions out

Start from detected footage, provided references, or a brief, then make the final creative decision yourself.

Production workflow

From source to native platform exports

A five-step workflow keeps the platform decision up front, produces genuinely different concepts, and preserves editability through review and export.

  1. STEP / 01

    Provide the source

    Upload a video, paste a supported public YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram URL, or write a brief with optional references, an avatar profile, and a brand kit.

  2. STEP / 02

    Choose the primary platform

    Select YouTube, Shorts, Instagram Reels, or TikTok before generation. The platform sets the dimensions, composition, and safe zones.

  3. STEP / 03

    Generate two distinct concepts

    Explore two materially different directions with separate compositions, palettes, framing, and hooks for the selected platform.

  4. STEP / 04

    Edit and review

    Refine the versioned canvas, request AI revisions, comment on exact layers or coordinates, and approve the direction without flattening the scene.

  5. STEP / 05

    Adapt and export

    Create native reflows for additional platforms, export exact-size files, or prepare the approved YouTube options for a guided Studio test.

FOR CLIPPERS

You clip. We cover.

You ship a stack of clips a day from podcasts, streams, and long-form. Every one still needs a cover that earns the tap. Drop the source once and pull scroll-stopping 9:16 covers for the whole batch, ready for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.

  • Cover the whole drop at once

    Generate a cover for every clip in one pass, so your posting cadence never waits on design.

  • Vertical by default

    Each cover is framed 9:16 first and kept clear of captions, handles, and the app UI.

  • Hook on the cover

    Put the sharpest line or face out front so the clip sells before it ever plays.
