Testimonials
Finally a free tool that doesn't slap watermarks everywhere. Made 8 thumbnails this month without paying anything. Perfect for my small channel budget.
Jake Wilson
Gaming channel, 8K subs
Was skeptical about "free AI" but it actually works. 60 credits got me through my first month. Quality is the same as paid tools I tried.
Nina Patel
Study tips channel, 23K subs
No credit card to sign up. That's what got me. Most "free" tools want your card info. This one just lets you create.
Chris Martinez
DIY tutorials, 15K subs
Started for free, tested it for 2 months, then upgraded when my channel grew. That's how free tiers should work. No pressure.

Export in HD. No watermarks. No branding. Your thumbnails, completely clean.
Who It's For
New creators who want professional thumbnails without spending money
Anyone testing if AI thumbnails work before committing to a paid plan
Small channels watching every dollar while building their audience
Hobbyist YouTubers who upload occasionally and need a free option
Try These
“Person holding a camera looking excited, bright studio lighting, clean white background, expression of genuine enthusiasm”
“Split image showing empty wallet on left and stack of cash on right, dramatic lighting, person pointing at both with shocked face”
“Gaming setup with RGB lights glowing, person wearing headphones mid-celebration, fist pump pose, dark background with neon accents”
Benefits
60 credits on signup. No trial that expires. No surprise charges. AI generation, full editing, clean exports. All included.
Most free tools hide AI behind a paywall. We include it. Generate 10-15 AI thumbnails monthly at zero cost.
Free exports come out clean. No logos, no branding, no "made with" text. Your audience just sees your thumbnail.
Starting a channel means watching every dollar. Make professional thumbnails free while you build. Upgrade when your revenue justifies it.
Best Practices
Upload photos when you have them. Uploads cost zero credits. Save AI credits for generated backgrounds.
Plan around 60 monthly credits. That covers 10-15 AI thumbnails. Do important videos early in the month.
Use all the free editing features. Text, shapes, filters, background removal. All included.
Build reusable templates. Design once, duplicate and modify. Saves credits and time.
Know what uses credits. Uploads and editing are free. Only AI generation uses credits.
Common Mistakes
Thinking free means bad quality. Free exports are full HD with no watermarks. Same quality as paid.
Wasting credits on basic edits. If you have a good photo, just upload it. Don't burn AI credits on simple stuff.
Letting credits expire. They refresh monthly but don't roll over. Use them before reset.
Hunting for a better free tool. This has AI, full editing, no watermarks. The combo beats most paid tools.
Upgrading too soon. Free handles most needs. Only pay when you genuinely hit the limits.
No credit card. No watermarks. No trial. 50 free credits monthly. Sign up and make your first thumbnail.
