Shorts & Reels creators

Vertical covers for Shorts, TikTok, and Reels — sized right, ready to post.

Teams

Five people, one style. Everyone makes thumbnails that look like they came from one designer.

FAQ

Good questions, honest answers

Yes. Upload a photo or let us pull frames from your video, and every generation keeps your likeness. The expression editor lets you dial emotion up or down without reshooting anything.

16:9 for standard YouTube videos (up to 4K), 9:16 for Shorts, TikTok and Reels, plus square crops for community posts. Every export is sized and compressed to pass YouTube's 2MB limit without visible quality loss.

Yes. Upload the generated image as a reference and describe what you want different — the AI creates a new version based on it. You can also regenerate with a tweaked prompt until it's right.

Templates make your thumbnail look like everyone else's. ThumbDesign generates from scratch based on what's currently winning clicks in your niche, with your face and your hook — so the output is unique to your video, not a re-skin.
