Freemium · $8/moYouTube thumbnail maker that clones channel styles and expressions
What is Thumbs.ai?
Thumbs.ai generates YouTube thumbnails from a prompt or remakes an existing one from a link or image. It can copy the visual style of a channel and change facial expressions, and is aimed at creators chasing higher click-through rates.
A template library of high-performing thumbnails can be remixed, and more than 20 effects such as glow halo and 3D pop are built in. The channel style tool analyzes a creator's recent uploads so you can build your own consistent look.
The free tier gives trial credits with watermarked results. Paid plans remove the watermark, unlock all templates, and keep unused credits for the next month, with commercial rights from the Ultimate tier.
