CMS & Content

EU Based

ThumbnailsMaker is an AI art director for YouTube thumbnails, not a template gallery or a one-click generator. Paste a video idea or a YouTube URL and it composes five hook-differentiated thumbnail packs from your own face, footage and designer-taste rules. You compare them side by side, edit text in place and ship the one you pick straight to a YouTube draft. A Designer Pass flags clickbait and near-duplicate hooks, and tells you why a pack was held back.
