Make it in TelegramWhy short text matters
On a phone feed a thumbnail is about the size of a postage stamp. Three words survive that, a sentence does not. AI also spells short words more reliably than long ones. Choose the most specific word from your title, such as a number, a tool name or a problem, and leave the rest to the video title. If the text comes out wrong, rerun with the same prompt and write the word in capital letters.
Keeping a channel look
Pick a style phrase and reuse it in every prompt, for example flat illustration with yellow background or dark studio photo with red accents. The AI will not copy it perfectly each time, but the family resemblance helps viewers recognize your videos. If you want the same face on every thumbnail, the bot is a weak fit, because it does not guarantee the same person across separate runs.
Tips
- YouTube thumbnails are shown at 1280×720, which is 16:9, the ratio the bot returns.
- Use two to four big words. At small sizes in the feed, long text is unreadable.
- Ask for a clear subject on one side and empty space on the other for the text.
- Look at the thumbnail at phone size before you upload it.
Questions and answers
Can the thumbnail include my face?
You can attach a photo as a reference, but the result is approximate and the likeness can vary between runs.
What is the thumbnail size?
The bot returns 16:9. YouTube shows 1280×720 thumbnails, so the ratio matches. Check the file size limit in YouTube Studio.
How much does one thumbnail cost?
3 credits per 16:9 banner. A Starter pack of 30 credits is from 199 Stars.
Does it add a play button or channel logo?
No. Add those yourself if you need them.
