Design video thumbnails with AI

Creators generate thumbnails and preview images for their videos

Ready to goAI Act: no extra obligationsCreating images, videos & audioSocial media & creators

Fits: Marketing & communications · Creative & media production · Social media & content

For every video you try out several thumbnail ideas without taking new photos each time or fiddling for hours. Your channel gets a style people recognise instantly in the list.

Is this for you?

  • So far you have designed your thumbnails yourself, and it takes you a lot of time.
  • Your channel has fixed formats or topics for which a recurring style is worthwhile.
First step today

Have a background generated for the thumbnail of your next video with the template below, with free space for your own photo and the title. Insert both yourself in your image editing program and compare the result at phone size with your previous thumbnail.

How to go about it

  1. Set the message, format and channel style
  2. Have your own photos, logo and reference examples ready
  3. Have several image ideas generated
  4. Choose, and insert the photo and title yourself
  5. Label it if it looks real, then upload
  6. Record your channel style as a template
