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.

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.
