Make a thumbnail from your video title

Have a title but no picture in mind? Lunzo reads the title, suggests the picture and the words on it, and makes the thumbnail. Here is what it chose for six real titles.

“I Lived on $10 a Day in Tokyo for a Week”

Picture Lunzo suggested
A surprised man holds up a single $10 bill on a rainy neon Tokyo street at night, a small ramen stall glowing behind him.
Text on the thumbnail
$10 A DAY IN TOKYO

What the AI thumbnail generator does

Put your face in every thumbnail

Save your face once and use it in new thumbnails, so every cover looks like you and your channel.

A free account holds one face model. Paid plans hold more, for a co-host or different looks.

Faces

  • Me, outdoors
  • Me, beach
  • Co-host

Edit the text and layout after it is made

The first result is a starting point. Change the words, move and resize the text, and shape the layout around the main idea of your video.

Colour and tone adjustments are in the same editor, so you finish the thumbnail without another app.

Keep your channel recognisable

Your saved Brand Kit brings your logo, colours and type into each new design.

Every video still gets its own picture, but the channel looks like one channel.

See what to fix before you publish

Apex scores a thumbnail on signals like contrast, clarity and composition, and names the weakest one in plain words.

Fix it in one step, or change it yourself in the editor.
