## If this sounds familiar…

### 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.

## 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.
