Produce a cover image that earns the click before the video plays.

AI Thumbnail Generator: Your video to Cover image YOU GIVE Your video Being built not available yet YOU GET Cover image This tool is on the roadmap. AutoReels generates short videos from a topic today.

The problem it solves

On YouTube the thumbnail does more work than the first ten seconds, and a frame grabbed at random from the middle of a video rarely does that work.

What we are building

Thumbnail generation will build a cover image in the same style as the video, with room for a short line of text.

No release date is promised. If you want it, saying so is the fastest way to move it up the list: accounts created from this page are counted as interest in it.

What you can do today

Your series already has a consistent visual style, which is half of what makes a channel recognisable in a feed.

Questions

Can I generate a thumbnail now?

No. It is in development. Videos are published with the platform default cover.

Will it match my series style?

That is the point of building it inside AutoReels rather than using a separate tool.

Does it apply to TikTok and Reels?

Those platforms use a frame from the video itself, so thumbnails matter most on YouTube.
