Questions
Is it free?
Titles, scores and the keep-your-screenshot maker are free. New accounts get 5 free credits for standard thumbnails; HD and your-face images use purchased credits.
What does the free score check?
Paste any YouTube link and we score its thumbnail for clarity, curiosity and readability at phone size, say what's holding it back and suggest a fix. No sign-in needed.
What does the channel audit check?
Your last 20 long videos (Shorts aren't counted). Each one is compared with your channel's typical views, so you can see which thumbnails are working and which are costing you clicks. Add your email to get a score, the main problem and a one-click fix for your three weakest.
Do you need access to my YouTube account?
No. The audit only uses public data: views, titles and thumbnails anyone can see. If it's your channel you can connect YouTube to add your real click-through rate. That access is read-only, and you can remove it any time in your Google account.
Do I need design skills?
No. Describe the video or paste one that's working, and the Studio does the layout, lighting and lettering.
Can I use my own face?
Yes. Upload up to three clear photos of yourself once, then put yourself into any thumbnail. Only upload photos of yourself or people who agreed.
What size do I get?
Thumbnails download at YouTube size (1280×720), ready to upload.
Do credits expire?
Top-up credits never expire. Monthly plans add credits every month, and you can cancel any time.
