About ThumbFocus
ThumbFocus is a web application that helps creators design YouTube thumbnails by generating multiple candidate images from a video idea and providing AI-based scoring to compare options. Users start by entering a video title or description, optionally adding reference images such as photos of themselves or products. The tool produces thumbnail variations in Draft, Balanced, or Premium quality, which can be reviewed for readability, contrast, composition, and alignment with the title. Each candidate can be scored using paid credits to receive feedback on potential improvements before final selection. The process emphasizes clarity on mobile screens and a single focal point to increase click-through likelihood. Thumbnails can include custom text or use automatically generated headlines, and creators retain the option to upload their own images for inclusion in the generated designs.
