FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I edit text on any thumbnail?
Works best on thumbnails with clear text. Heavily stylized or 3D text may need manual adjustment.
Will it match my original font?
Describe the original style in your prompt (bold, thin, rounded, condensed) and the AI generates new text in a similar look. It is a visual match, not an exact font-file match.
Can I add text to thumbnails without text?
Yes. Adding new text works great. Not just editing existing text.
What about text with effects like 3D or fire?
Describe the effect you want, "3D lettering," "fire text," "glowing outline," and the AI attempts it. Results vary more than with simpler effects like a plain outline or shadow.
Can I remove text entirely?
Yes. AI can remove text and fill the background. Works best on simpler backgrounds.
How do I know what text works better?
Create two versions with different text. Upload both to YouTube as A/B test. Check CTR after 48 hours.
