FAQ
Common questions
How is this different from your YouTube Thumbnail tool?+
This one covers multiple platforms — YouTube, podcasts, Twitch, online courses — with presets that match each platform's visual conventions. The dedicated YouTube tool is tuned just for YouTube high-CTR thumbnails.
Can I include my face in the thumbnail?+
Yes. Upload a portrait or hero shot in the Face Photo field and Nano Banana composites it into the thumbnail. Skip it for purely typographic thumbnails.
Will the title text render legibly?+
Yes. Nano Banana 2 is strong on in-image text. If a title looks soft, run again or switch to Recraft or Ideogram from the model dropdown.
What aspect ratios are produced?+
Thumbnails default to landscape 16:9 to match most video platforms. Mention an unusual ratio in the Notes field if needed.
Can I use these commercially?+
Yes. Generations are yours to use on any platform, personal or paid.
