Scroll-stopping thumbnails — your face, 60 seconds
Every way to generate

Four ways in. One unmistakable face out.

Start from a video, a template, a link worth copying, or nothing but a prompt — your face stays consistent across every render.

  • From a video

    Turn your transcript into a thumbnail

    Paste a YouTube link or your transcript. The AI distills the concept and pre-fills your thumbnail — analyzed once, never re-scraped.

  • From a template

    Start from a proven layout

    40+ niche-tuned templates across YouTube, social, and faceless. Begin from a winning frame instead of a blank canvas.

  • Duplicate any thumbnail

    Copy a winner from its link

    Paste the YouTube link of a thumbnail that's already winning. FatThumb rebuilds its exact composition, layout, and on-image text — with your face in it.

  • AI Designer

    Let the AI design it

    No template, no reference — just describe it. The AI Designer composes a high-CTR thumbnail from your prompt alone.

16:9 for YouTube & faceless, 9:16 for Instagram & TikTok.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Why it beats hiring a designer.

Copy what works

Steal any thumbnail that's already winning

Paste a competitor's URL — FatThumb rebuilds the exact layout, framing, and on-image text, then drops your face in. The proven CTR, now yours.

The wedge

Your face, every single render

Upload 1–5 photos once. Every thumbnail is unmistakably you — same face, lighting, and likeness across 120 thumbnails a month.

The math

$1,000 → $0

What you'd pay a designer per month — gone. Bring your own API key and marginal cost is basically zero.

Templates

Proven layouts, instant

Niche-tuned templates so you start from a winning frame, not a blank canvas.

Podcast mode

Swap the guest, keep the style

One template, rotating guests — brand and lighting stay locked.

Start from what works

Don’t start from a blank canvas.

Every layout in the library is a proven thumbnail archetype — the framings creators reach for again and again. Pick one, drop your face in, and you start from a format that already earns the click. No design skills, no staring at an empty frame.

Two ways to generate

Fast when you're moving.
Deep when it counts.

STUDIO — fast & guided

Studio

One guided flow, built for daily publishing. Paste a video, pick a proven template, and go.

  • Tap a face to set the expression — your face stays consistent.
  • Podcast mode: lock a host, swap the guest each episode.

COMPOSER — full control

Composer

The advanced composer. Layer references, direct every detail, and fine-tune the output.

  • Layer a Person, Style References (style only), and named Images you place or swap by name.
  • Choose the exact format (16:9, 9:16, 1:1), A/B up to 4 variations, and lock your likeness.

Both lanes keep your face consistent the same way and share the same two models — Gemini 3 Pro Image, plus GPT Image 2 on Pro. Switch anytime.
