Overview

Thumbnail AI generates a set of 64 custom YouTube thumbnails from a person’s own uploaded photos: it creates 16 AI-generated pictures of the customer’s face, then produces 4 thumbnail variations from each one, across 10 styles including realistic, Pixar-style, video game, painting, anime, cyberpunk, figurine and Studio Ghibli-inspired looks. It is aimed at YouTubers who want a distinctive, on-brand thumbnail look without hiring a designer or manually editing a new thumbnail for every upload. Because every generated thumbnail is built from photos the customer supplies of themselves, there is no third-party likeness or consent concern the way there would be with a tool built around someone else’s face.

Results depend on the quality and variety of the source photos supplied, so a customer submitting a small number of similar-angle photos may get less varied output across the 16 generated face images than someone who submits a wider range. As with any AI-generated likeness, a person should review the results before using them publicly, since an AI face generation can occasionally produce an image that does not look quite right and is better swapped for one of the other 63 variations rather than published as-is.

The service is a single one-time payment of $34.99, which includes generating 16 AI images of the customer’s face and 4 thumbnail style variations of each, for a total of 64 finished thumbnails.
