Thumbmagic is a web-based AI thumbnail maker for YouTubers, content creators, agencies, and brands. Users can start with a public YouTube link, upload an MP4, MOV, AVI, or WEBM video up to 5GB, or provide at least 100 characters of script. Each generation consumes one credit and creates two thumbnail versions. In the editor, users select an element, describe a requested change, and generate a variant; edits also use one credit. A text tool suggests three to five headlines and offers six fonts, while an expression changer provides six choices: Happy, Surprised, Shocked, Angry, Excited, and Curious. The service lists standard YouTube thumbnails at 1280x720 pixels and 9:16 templates for short-form platforms. Its stated use cases include YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram. Free access provides three thumbnails without requiring a credit card. Paid plans are billed yearly and start at 17.00 USD per month; the Starter plan includes 100 thumbnails per month. The privacy notice says servers are in the United States and customer data may be kept for up to two years after a contract ends.
