Glow, particles, and screen glare that add motion without clutter

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gaming thumbnail maker?

An AI generator tuned for gaming covers: you describe the moment, it produces 16:9 art with the neon-lit, high-contrast look that dominates gaming YouTube — no design skills required.

Which games does it work for?

Any game. Fortnite, Minecraft, Valorant, GTA, Roblox, horror indies — describe the scene and the style adapts while staying bold and readable.

Can I put my own face in the thumbnail?

Yes — upload a photo and the face reference feature keeps your identity in the generated art, exaggerated expression included.

What text works best on gaming thumbnails?

Three to four words max — "1 HP CLUTCH", "I BROKE IT", "WORLD RECORD". Heavy italic type with an outline survives mobile rendering; full sentences never do.

Do better gaming thumbnails really lift CTR?

Thumbnail and title decide most of the click before anyone sees your content. Generating 3–4 variants and testing them is the cheapest CTR experiment a gaming channel can run.

How many free thumbnails can I make?

10 welcome credits on signup, plus 10 bonus credits after your first generation — about 10 thumbnails free, no card required.

What sizes do I get?

Full 1280×720 for standard videos and 9:16 vertical for Shorts — both YouTube spec, ready to upload.
