Thumbnails that don't match your channel

Generic AI outputs that look like everyone else's. Your channel has a vibe — your thumbnails don't show it.

Hours in Photoshop for every video

Cutouts, layouts, color matching, text rendering. Each thumbnail eats an evening you should be filming.

Editor metadata leaking on upload

EXIF, IPTC and XMP fields tag your file with software fingerprints. Platforms see it — and shadowbans follow.

How it works

Choose your mode

Free-form (write a title) or Reference (paste a YouTube URL or upload an image to clone the aesthetic).

Add title, face and language

Optional face photo for consistent identity, native text in your language, and pick landscape or shorts format.

AI generates in seconds

Gemini 3 Flash builds the prompt, Gemini 3 Pro Image renders it. Landscape (16:9) for YouTube, vertical (9:16) for Shorts/Reels.

Download — or clean before publishing

Run the file through the Stealth Cleaner to strip EXIF/IPTC/XMP and inject sterile metadata. Upload without fingerprints.

Everything you need to ship thumbnails

Free-form generation

Type a title and description, the AI delivers a thumbnail that fits your channel — no Photoshop required.

Reference mode (clone style)

Paste a YouTube URL and the AI extracts the VisualDNA — colors, layout, energy, hook object — and clones it for your video.

VisualDNA extraction

Dominant palette, composition, lighting and text style — all detected from any reference image or video.

Face photo support

Upload your face once and the AI keeps your identity consistent across every thumbnail. VirusScan included.

Landscape + Shorts formats

Generate 16:9 covers for YouTube and 9:16 verticals for Shorts and Reels — same prompt, two formats.

10 languages, native text

Text on the thumbnail respects your locale — English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Italian, Russian and Turkish.

Stealth Cleaner (built-in)

Strip EXIF, IPTC, XMP and C2PA from PNG/JPEG/WebP up to 10MB and inject sterile metadata. Anti-shadowban out of the box.

History with Use Again + AI Chat

Every generation is saved with filters by format and visibility, full-screen preview, download, public/private toggle and one-click AI Chat.

Real-world use case

“@jonhvmp pastes the URL of a viral video, the AI extracts the palette + layout, generates a thumbnail with his face, runs it through the Stealth Cleaner and uploads to YouTube — in 2 minutes.”

Result: from inspiration to upload — zero Photoshop, zero metadata leak.

Creator OS vs. the alternatives

Questions, answered

How does Reference mode work?

Paste any YouTube video URL (or upload an image) and the AI analyzes it for VisualDNA — dominant colors, layout structure, lighting style, energy and hook object. It then clones that aesthetic for your title, so your thumbnail matches the same vibe without copying.

Do I need to upload a face photo?

No, it's optional. If you upload one (with VirusScan protection), the AI keeps your identity consistent across thumbnails. Without it, the AI generates without a person — perfect for channels that don't show a face.

What is Stealth Cleaner and why does it matter?

Every PNG/JPEG/WebP file carries metadata (EXIF, IPTC, XMP, C2PA) that fingerprints the editor and AI tools used. Platforms read these tags. Stealth Cleaner strips them all and injects sterile, neutral metadata — so your upload looks like a clean export, not an AI-generated file.

Does it work for Shorts (9:16)?

Yes. Pick the vertical format and the AI renders a 9:16 cover sized for Shorts and Reels. Same prompt, same VisualDNA, different aspect ratio.

How many thumbnails can I generate?

Generation uses credits — 10 on Starter ($12/mo), 50 on Creator ($29/mo), 200 on Agency ($79/mo). Stealth Cleaner is unlimited and free for all paid plans. Failed generations refund credits automatically.
