You don't need to search for the regular youtube thumbnail size anymore. With ThumbnailMaker, you can now increase your click-through rate (CTR) by generating professional, stunning and catchy thumbnails in one click using AI.
Hello product hunters!
I'd like to share with you ThumbnailMaker, my latest side-project that I've been working on. Initially, I shared this project on Twitter, but after receiving requests to try it out, I decided to make it public.
π€ So what's the problem? Why this project ?
As we all know, the first impression is crucial, and when it comes to YouTube videos, a thumbnail is the first thing a potential viewer sees before deciding whether to watch a video or not.
As a former content creator on YouTube (+50k subs & ~5M views), I've noticed that successful YouTubers have access to the best designers on the platform, which makes their videos more competitive than those from newer content creators who are just starting.
ThumbnailMaker aims to help all content creators increase their video's click-through rate (CTR), engagement, and ultimately, the success of their channel.
β The solution?
I want to provide content creators, businesses, and designers with a tool that allows them to create professional-looking thumbnails easily and without spending too much money or time in the process.
The process is very straightforward. You just have to take a screenshot of an interesting part of your video, upload it to ThumbnailMaker, give a short explanation of how you'd like your thumbnail to look, and... That's it, we take care of the rest. We will generate for you the thumbnail you're looking for.
π What's next?
If you are interested in the development of this project, I will share its progress from time to time on twitter: https://twitter.com/RiadEtm

@riadetm Congrats on the launch! ThumbnailMaker seems like a game-changer for content creators. Finally, an easy and affordable way to create professional-looking thumbnails. Excited to see how it helps channels stand out!
@summerwardd_ Thank you for your message! I do my best to make content creation fair with my small means. Initially it was a personal need but I'm happy to share this project with all of you!
@riadetm Congratulations on the launch! Your product is excellent for generating professional-quality thumbnails with minimal time investment. Congratulations once again on a job well done! π
@palam_s Hey! Thank you for your message!
I'm not sure to have correctly understood your point. At the moment, ThumbnailMaker takes a raw image as input (which doesn't have to meet YouTube's recommended ratio or quality standards) and it outputs the same image but greatly improved in terms of quality/resolution, colorgrading, lighting and composition.
It mainly turns any raw image into a fancy looking ready-to-use video thumbnail.
Congrats on the launch! As a content creator, I agree how important it is to have an eye-catching thumbnail! I still think that AI-images often have some artifacts, but you don't see them on thumbnails, right? So this is definitely a lifehack :)
@anka_lumos Hello Anna,
Thank you for your message!
You're absolutely right about AI artifacts. But that's why YouTube thumbnails is a perfect fit. Since they're never seen full size, those artifacts seem like didn't exist.
However, I'm still working on reducing their numbers to improve the overall quality!
Beautiful and focused product/page. Love the design. Quick idea π‘ for the landing page β for UX and SEO, find some way to improve loading time... could be optimizing images, more/optimized CDN, lazy loading, or something similar
@blake_whittington Hello Blake,
Thank you so much for your message and your review!
You're definitely right about loading time. I might have found some hidden uncompressed images which slow down the loading time by a lot. I'll fix that!
