Thumbnail FAQ
Do you write my video title on a real YouTube file?+
You get a still. Burn-in type may be imperfect.
Can I generate a whole channel kit?+
One thumbnail per generate.
Is signup next= the thumbnail mode?+
Yes. next=/make/thumbnail.
Do I need a subscription?+
No. You can pay as you go: credit packs are one-time purchases and their credits never expire. If you would rather have a steady supply, the monthly Starter ($7.99), Creator ($19) and Pro ($49) plans refill your credits each month, and you can cancel anytime. Unused monthly credits do not roll over.
