What size are the thumbnails?

Thumbnails generate at 16:9 — YouTube's exact ratio (1280×720 recommended upload size). Download and upload directly, no cropping needed.

Can I put my own face in the thumbnail?

Yes — upload a reference photo and the AI features you in the thumbnail with your face kept recognizable. That's what template editors can't do.

Is this tool really free?

Yes — sign up and you get 25 free credits, no credit card required. Each generation costs 5 credits, so your free credits cover 5 images. After that, one-time credit packs start at $9.90 and never expire.

Can I use the images commercially?

Yes. Every image you generate is yours to use anywhere — your channel, blog, company page, or client work. A commercial license is included, free credits included.
