Same style. Your face. Every time.
Sound Familiar?
Another hour lost to Canva
You spend more time designing thumbnails than editing your actual video. Every. Single. Week.
Why doesn't my face look the same?
You've uploaded your photo 47 times this month, and somehow it looks different in every thumbnail.
Which thumbnail style should I copy?
You're 20 tabs deep into competitor research, and you still haven't started designing.
Here's the harsh truth: Your thumbnail is the difference between 100 views and 100,000 views. While you're spending hours on thumbnails that might work, top creators are using AI to generate thumbnails that consistently outperform. They're getting more clicks while spending less time on design.

The Story Behind This
The Thumbnail That Changed Everything
I'm Melvyn, and I used to spend hours perfecting thumbnails. Then I ran an experiment.
I A/B tested an AI-generated thumbnail against my best human-made designs. The result? The AI version got 2x more watch time. 51.5% watch time share vs 24.8% and 23.7% for the others.
That single test made me fire my thumbnail designer and go all-in on AI. The performance difference was too significant to ignore.
I built this tool so every creator can get the same unfair advantage — thumbnails that actually outperform.

Questions & answers
What is Thumbfa.st?
Thumbfa.st is an AI-powered YouTube thumbnail generator built specifically for content creators. Describe your thumbnail, select your saved face and style references, and generate professional thumbnails in seconds - no design skills required.
How does the AI generation work?
Our AI uses Google's Gemini model to create thumbnails based on your text description. When you add a Person profile (your face photos) and an Inspiration (style reference), the AI incorporates these to ensure consistency and style matching.
What are Person profiles?
Person profiles let you save photos and descriptions of faces you want to include in thumbnails. Upload once, and every future thumbnail can feature that exact face consistently. This is essential for building recognizable channel branding.
How does the Inspiration feature work?
Paste any YouTube video URL, and we extract its thumbnail. Our AI analyzes the style, colors, composition, and mood, then saves it to your library. Reference these Inspirations when generating to match successful thumbnail styles.
How many thumbnails can I generate at once?
You can generate 1-4 thumbnail variations per request. Each variation uses 1 thumbnail from your plan. We recommend generating 4 to have options for A/B testing.
What's included in the subscription?
The Pro plan at $19/month includes 80 thumbnails per month. The Ultra plan at $49/month includes 250 thumbnails per month. Both paid plans come with a 14-day free trial. Need more? Buy thumbnail packs starting at $2.99.
