A few things you might be wondering.

What can I make with ThumbFocus?

Create a YouTube thumbnail from your video idea, with optional photos of you or your product. You can also review an existing thumbnail and compare up to three options before choosing what to publish.

What do I get for free?

One full-resolution thumbnail in Balanced quality, with a watermark and one optional reference image. Sign up to create and download it. No credit card is needed. Reviews and additional thumbnails use paid credits.

How do credits work?

A new thumbnail costs 1 credit in Draft, 2 in Balanced, or 4 in Premium. A review costs 1 credit per thumbnail. You always see the cost before starting. Creating three Balanced thumbnails and reviewing all three uses 9 credits.

Will a higher score mean more views?

A review helps you spot issues with readability, contrast, composition and how well the image supports your title. It is an AI assessment, not a prediction of clicks or views. Test your final choices with your audience.

Can I use my own photos and download the result?

Yes. Add a face, product or other image you have permission to use. Paid access supports up to four references and watermark-free downloads. Your thumbnails and reviews stay together in your Library.

Can I cancel, and what happens if something fails?

Manage or cancel your subscription in Billing. Your plan stays available until the end of its paid period. Monthly credits do not roll over. If a service failure produces no usable result, reserved credits are restored automatically where possible; support can help with any unresolved request.

Still unsure? We can help.
