Thumbnails that earn the click — written, rendered and approved in one place.
Amazing Thumbnails turns one video brief into a set of finished, upload-ready thumbnails. Art-direct them with presets and your own reference photos, fix any single detail with a plain-English edit, score the result before you publish, then send a link for client sign-off — without opening design software.
Credits included on sign-up · Bring your own API key and pay nothing per image · Your files stay on your site
Eight modules, one workflow
Nothing here is a separate tool you have to wire up. Every module works on the same campaigns, thumbnails and credits.
Thumbnail Studio
Describe the video once and get a batch of finished thumbnails back.
- Video title, brief and target audience drive the artwork
- Style preset, emotion, art direction and visual medium (photo, 3D, anime, cartoon, low-poly and more)
- Reference photos for subject, product, background and text style
- Headline and sub-text rendered into the image, with position and size control
- YouTube 16:9 or Shorts, Reels and TikTok 9:16, up to 10 variations per run
- Drafts and auto-save, with the credit cost shown before you generate
Gallery & Edit with AI
Every thumbnail you have made, in one searchable grid.
- Search, rename, favourite, duplicate a campaign or delete
- Download one thumbnail or a whole campaign as a ZIP
- Edit with AI: describe one change and keep everything else identical
- Attach a subject or background photo to the edit, and pick the quality and price
- Edits are saved as new thumbnails, so the original is never lost
AI Remixer
Turn a thumbnail that works into several fresh directions.
- Change the background, colours, expression or contrast from a plain instruction
- Keep the headline, write your own, or let the AI invent one per variation
- The original art style is preserved — an illustration stays an illustration
- Full remix history against every source thumbnail
AI Copywriter
The words that sell the click, written next to the artwork.
- Thumbnail text, video titles, hooks, descriptions and calls to action
- Several variations at a time, with one-click regenerate and copy
- Written against a chosen thumbnail so the copy matches the picture
Thumbnail Analyzer
Score a thumbnail before you publish it.
- Text readability, colour contrast, visual hierarchy, composition and mobile visibility
- An overall score plus specific fixes, not vague advice
- Works on your own uploads as well as generated thumbnails
Client Review
Send a link. Your client picks a winner without an account.
- Secure review pages that expire on a schedule you set
- Comments per thumbnail, approve or request a revision
- Revision history, and folders to keep clients apart
Credits & usage
Every request accounted for, to the credit.
- A credit balance per account, with per-feature pricing set by the site owner
- A usage log recording date, feature, credits spent, balance left and which API key was used
- Bring your own OpenAI key and your requests cost no credits at all
Agency & Whitelabel
Run thumbnails for other people under your own brand.
- Client workspaces you can switch into, with their own campaigns and credits
- Registration links to onboard a client in a couple of clicks
- Your brand name, logo, favicon and accent colours across the studio
From an idea to an approved thumbnail
Six steps. The first five take minutes; the last one is your client clicking approve.

Brief Thumbnail Studio
Open Thumbnail Studio, paste the video title, add a short brief and who the video is for, then pick the format — YouTube 16:9 or Shorts 9:16.
-
3
Art-direct it
Choose a style preset, an emotion and the visual medium, add your headline and sub-text, and drop in reference photos for the person, product, background or text style you want matched.
-
4
Generate
Set the quality and how many variations you want. The estimated cost is shown before you commit. Each image takes roughly half a minute to a minute; the run keeps going even if your connection drops.
-
5
Refine in the gallery
Favourite the strong ones. Use Edit with AI for a single targeted change, or the Remixer for a fresh direction. Score anything you are unsure about in the Analyzer.
-
6
Approve and publish
Send a client review link for sign-off, generate matching titles and hooks in the Copywriter, then download the winner — or the whole set as a ZIP.

Contact usFrequently asked
Do I need design skills?
No. You describe the video in plain words and choose a look from the presets. The studio writes the art direction for you and renders finished, upload-ready images at the exact size each platform wants.
Can I use my own face, product or brand?
Yes. Attach a subject photo and the person stays recognisable, a product photo and the product is kept faithful, a background photo for the scene, and a text-style sample to match your typography.
What does a thumbnail cost?
The site owner must add an admin OpenAI key. If you do not add your own key, that admin key is used and credits are deducted from your balance. Add your own OpenAI key in Settings and your requests run on your account with no credit charge.
How long does a run take?
Roughly 30 to 90 seconds per image, so a batch of four takes a few minutes. The work continues on the server even if your connection drops or you close the tab, and finished thumbnails appear in your gallery.
Can my client see the options without an account?
Yes. Client Review creates a private link that expires. Your client comments on individual thumbnails, approves one or asks for a revision, and you see the whole history in the studio.
Where are my thumbnails stored?
In your own WordPress uploads folder, in a dedicated directory for this plugin. Nothing depends on an external gallery, and you can download any thumbnail or a whole campaign as a ZIP whenever you like.
Your next thumbnail is a brief away
Open the studio and generate your first set. If anything is unclear, the help page walks through every module, and our support desk answers the rest.
