Prepare YouTube assets
Start with a video or title
Open Thumbnail Studio. Use a source video for title analysis, or enter a title directly. Review suggested titles and refine them before choosing the one you want to use.
Build a thumbnail
Choose the number of designs and describe the result you want. You can supply a face photo and background image you have permission to use. Crisp text adds readable type after image generation; AI-painted text lets the image model draw it and needs closer spelling review.
Review and download
Check the subject, headline and reference details in each result before downloading. A generated thumbnail is prepared at 1280 × 720. Titles, descriptions and thumbnails are assets for you to review and upload; creating them does not itself publish a YouTube video.
Open the workspace and choose Thumbnail Studio.
