ThumbPops is a fast thumbnail maker for creators who want to know whether a design still works when it shrinks down in the feed. Pick a photo, add a punchy title, choose a format, and ThumbPops scores the thumbnail with Tap Test checks for readability, title length, contrast, brightness, face overlap, edge framing, text density, safe zones, and title/video overlap. Version 2.2 adds Subject Lift: on-device cutout, depth, outline, and backdrop so the person stays in front of the headline at scroll-by size. Version 2.1 adds Launch Pack: a platform-by-platform publishing checklist for YouTube-style wide thumbnails, vertical short-form covers, square feeds, podcast art, stories, and timeline images. Launch Pack shows the exact export size, a readiness score, blocker issues, and the next fix for each format before you export. What ThumbPops does: - import photos you choose from your library - cut the subject out on-device and compose depth (Subject Lift) - create wide, vertical, square, podcast, story, and timeline thumbnails - add a headline, subtitle, stickers, creator-style badges, and bold color looks - run Tap Test checks for readability, contrast, brightness, face overlap, and edge risk - use Launch Pack to QA every export format from one design - preview the thumbnail at real scroll-by sizes - auto-place text away from detected faces - use Pro Lab tools for focal placement, legibility, color harmony, templates, and safe zones - keep a brand kit and export score history on-device - export PNG thumbnails when you choose ThumbPops is not a social network and does not post for you. It is a creative utility for checking whether a thumbnail is clear and ready before you publish it. Privacy is simple: no account, no developer cloud, no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK, no tracking, and no data collected by the developer. Image analysis runs on device. ThumbPops is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any social platform.
