Turn one selfie into a thumbnail people actually click. Thumbly uses AI to place you inside a proven creator template and add bold, readable text - in about ten seconds. Made for YouTube, Shorts, Reels and TikTok, exported at the right size every time. HOW IT WORKS 1. Describe the thumbnail you want, in plain English. 2. Add a selfie. Thumbly keeps your face consistent across new poses, expressions and scenes. 3. Choose how many variants you want, then generate. That is the whole app if you want it to be. Every advanced control below defaults to Auto, so you can ignore all of it until you need it. KEEP YOUR FACE Your likeness stays recognisable in every scene instead of being replaced by a stranger. Same person, new lighting, new pose, new world. CLONE A VIBE, NOT A DESIGN Add any reference image and Thumbly borrows its layout, framing, contrast and mood - never its people, logos or text. Get the look of the channels you admire without copying their work. TEST MORE ANGLES - Generate up to four variants at once, each built around a different click angle - Squint Test: preview your thumbnail at real feed size, in a mock feed, before you publish - Estimated CTR meter scores your setup live as you change it - Enhance for CTR sharpens contrast, focal clarity and readability automatically - AI hook ideas suggest short, punchy on-image text from your description ADVANCED CONTROLS Open the Advanced panel and direct every part of the image: - Look: style reference, niche category, art style, facial expression - Composition: background, thumbnail pattern, layout and subject placement - Elements: typography, hook style, objects and effects with placement control, plus a text-behind-subject depth toggle - Output: aspect ratio and number of variants Every selector shows a real rendered preview, so you pick with your eyes instead of guessing from a label. A HUGE TEMPLATE LIBRARY Loads of full thumbnail styles across gaming, tech, finance, fitness, food, vlogs, podcasts, music, sports, education, news and more. Browse by Trending, New, Featured or For You. Apply a complete style in one tap, or borrow just one slice of it - only the background, only the text treatment, only the expression. EVERY SIZE YOU NEED - 16:9 for YouTube videos - 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok - 1:1 for Instagram posts - 4:5 for social portrait NO ACCOUNT NEEDED No email, no password, no sign-up. A few quick questions set the app up for your channel, a photo is optional, and then you pick a plan. Your library of past thumbnails is linked to your device by an anonymous ID, ready to save to Photos or share anywhere. Built for creators who publish constantly and need a thumbnail that earns the click - not another blank canvas. SUBSCRIPTION Generating thumbnails requires an auto-renewing subscription. Three plans, each granting thumbnail credits you spend one per generated variant: - Weekly: 10 thumbnails per week - Monthly: 80 thumbnails per month - Yearly: 111 thumbnails per month, billed once a year Browsing the full template and style library is free for everyone; generating from it is what the subscription buys. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Your subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings at any time. If a generation fails, your credits are returned.
