A thumbnail maker that gets the text right

Ask an image model for a thumbnail with words on it and you get letters that look right from a distance and collapse when read. It is the most common failure of AI design tools and it cannot be prompted away.

A thumbnail is three or four words doing all the work. They have to be spelled correctly at a glance.

So the image is generated and the text is drawn - placed, sized and rendered by the layout engine, not painted by the model.

The thumbnail is generated from the video’s own title and script, so the promise on the frame matches what the video delivers.

Several options come back rather than one, because the right thumbnail is a choice and no tool can make it for you.

Thumbnails cost a few credits, not a subscription. They run on our own GPUs, which is why the price is small.

For a channel publishing weekly, that is a rounding error against the render itself.
