    Choose a style, such as bold and bright, clean or dramatic, and whether a person should be in it.

Questions

Can it put my title on the thumbnail?

Yes. Short titles of two to four words come out most reliably. The model can occasionally add small extra text or drop a character, so check before you upload.

Can I use my own face?

Add a photo of yourself as a reference image. Results look similar, but faces can change, so many creators add their real photo in an editor afterward.

Is it free?

You can create a free image to try without signing up, and a free account includes 3 images. Paid plans start at $9 a month for 50 images.

What size is right for YouTube?

1280 × 720 pixels (16:9). Download it at that exact size from My assets.

Can I use the thumbnail on my channel?

Yes. You own the images you create with Imavro and can use them for personal and commercial projects, as described in our Terms of Service.
