What is Thumbish?

Create viral YouTube thumbnails with AI. Turn your video topic into high-CTR thumbnails inspired by top competitors, tailored to your channel's unique style.

How does Thumbish help create clickable YouTube thumbnails?

Thumbish uses your video hook and audience context to develop a clear visual story, topic-specific typography, expressions and optional headline. Review the concept and its reason to watch before generating. The aim is an attention-grabbing thumbnail that delivers the video’s promise; actual click-through rate depends on your audience and needs measurement.

What makes Thumbish different from regular AI image generators?

Thumbish brings the video brief, script, channel persona and reference images into a conversational thumbnail workflow. You review a proposed concept before generating artwork, then request revisions in the same conversation. Choose Flash or Aura and set image quality before approving generation.

Can Thumbish understand a thumbnail brief like a designer?

Thumbish works as a virtual thumbnail design assistant: describe your video, audience and constraints, then review a concept covering the subject, composition and headline before generating. You can refine the direction in conversation. It is an AI tool, so you remain responsible for checking the creative decisions and final artwork.

Can I match my channel thumbnails or use competitor references?

Yes. Choose one source in Reference thumbnails: My channel continues the styling, typography, effects and composition patterns of your own examples; Competitors uses each example as inspiration for an original design. Upload images or add thumbnails from YouTube video links, then press Save references. Free supports two references; Lite and Mega support five.

Can I revise a thumbnail without starting a new concept?

Yes. Request a focused edit to a thumbnail generated in Thumbish in the same conversation. A revision edits the existing artwork rather than starting concept planning again. It uses Flash Medium and costs 10 credits, even if the original was generated with Aura.

How do Flash, Aura and image qualities work?

Flash is the faster image model, available on every plan. Aura is the quality-focused model on paid plans. Free includes Low and Medium quality; paid plans include Low, Medium and High. Flash costs 10, 20 and 30 credits per image at Low, Medium and High; Aura costs 20, 30 and 40.

Can I use my own face and keep it consistent?

Yes. Add a face image to your Channel Persona in the studio sidebar. Thumbish uses it as a reference for that channel. AI-generated likeness can vary, so review the face and details before publishing.

Can I upload video scripts directly?

Yes. Attach a PDF, DOCX, TXT or MD script in the studio composer. Thumbish uses the script as context for your concept and artwork. Check the studio guide for upload limits and provide a text-based file if a scanned document has no extractable text.

How do credits and plans work?

Eligible new users can start with 50 credits, available once per person, device and network. Lite costs $10/month billed monthly, or $9/month equivalent billed yearly (10% saving) with 1,050 monthly credits and 2 channels. Mega costs $35/month billed monthly, or $28/month equivalent billed yearly (20% saving) with 4,100 monthly credits and 5 channels. Monthly and yearly paid subscriptions add the same credits each month; annual billing does not grant a full year of credits at once. Free includes Flash with Low and Medium quality. Paid plans unlock Flash and Aura with all three qualities. Credits cover chat replies, concepts, image generation and revisions; a new thumbnail generation uses 10, 20 or 30 credits for Flash and 20, 30 or 40 for Aura based on quality. Image revisions cost 10 credits using Flash Medium, and a chat reply uses 2.

Will Thumbish guarantee more views?

No. Thumbish helps you develop and generate thumbnail artwork; it does not guarantee views or a click-through rate. Video performance also depends on the title, audience, topic and video itself. Use YouTube Analytics and supported YouTube testing tools to evaluate actual results.
