Thumbnails that get clicked, paid per thumbnail
Describe the scene, put the title words in quotes, ask for 16:9 and high contrast, and the model makes the thumbnail. GPT Image 2 and Qwen Image 3 set short titles letter-perfect, Nano Banana 2.1 puts your own face from a photo into the scene, and each thumbnail is priced before you generate.
$0.50 of free credit when you verify your email. Images from $0.045, top-ups from $5, and top-up credit never expires.

A tech video
YouTube thumbnail, 16:9: a surprised young creator holding a glowing tiny robot, the title "I BUILT AN AI PET" in huge bold white letters with a black outline on the left, bright cyan and orange background, high contrast, sharp, no other text.
A story channel
YouTube thumbnail, 16:9: an abandoned lighthouse on a cliff at night, one window glowing red, storm clouds, cinematic lighting, the words "NOBODY CAME BACK" in large distressed white letters at the bottom, high contrast.
How to get good results
- Three to five words, in quotes, as big as the frame allows: thumbnails are read at phone size.
- Ask for 16:9 and high contrast, and one clear subject with an expressive face.
- To put yourself in it, upload a photo of your face to Nano Banana 2.1 and describe the scene around you.
- For a channel, keep one style line (colors, font style, layout) so your thumbnails look like a series.
- Make two or three variants for an A/B test: each one costs cents.

Questions
Can the AI write the title on the thumbnail?
Yes. GPT Image 2 and Qwen Image 3 set short titles reliably; put the exact words in quotes and keep them to a few words.
Can I use my own face?
Yes. Upload a photo of yourself to Nano Banana 2.1 and describe the scene; use only photos of people who agreed to it.
Can I make a thumbnail for every new video automatically?
Yes. The n8n node or the API can make a thumbnail from each video's title, on the same balance as everything else.
Do I need a subscription?
No. You top up a balance and pay per thumbnail; top-up credit never expires.
