Gorilla Tag Thumbnail Maker for YouTubers

Your monke, your cosmetics, the second of the chase. Upload a screenshot and say what to change, or paste your video's link and get the brief written for you.

Already have a screenshot of your monke? Start from it.

Two ways to make it

Start from a screenshot of your monke

Upload a screenshot from your video, then type the change in one sentence. The image is yours, so your colour, cosmetics and map stay exactly as they were; only what you ask for changes.

“Put lava under me and make the sky orange”
“Add GHOST in red, top left”
“Blur the forest behind me”

Edit a screenshot

Start from the video's link or a sentence

Paste the link and three angles for the brief are written from the video's title, its current thumbnail and its description. Pick the VR Chase style for a low-poly world, the player mid-leap and a chaser behind. It draws a generic avatar, never the game's own model or cosmetics.

“A low-poly ape leaping between trees, a chaser right behind”
“A player falling toward a lava floor, arms out”

Use the VR Chase style

What each kind of Gorilla Tag video needs

Chases and jukes

The second you escape is the whole video. Show the gap closing: the chaser one arm's length away, the runner mid-swing, the drop below.

"Put the tagger right behind me, motion blur on the trees"

Ghost and horror runs

Dark, one light source, and something that shouldn't be there. A single lit detail does more than a crowded map.

"Make the forest dark, a pale shape between the trees, HE'S HERE in white"

Updates and new cosmetics

The new thing is the subject. Put it big and central, the monke reacting beside it, and name the update in two words.

"Make the new cosmetic twice as big, NEW UPDATE in yellow"

Mods and custom maps

Show the strangest thing the mod does, not the menu. One impossible moment reads faster than a list of features.

"Make me giant next to the stump, the others tiny around me"

Mistakes that cost Gorilla Tag thumbnails the click

A tiny monke in a wide shot

A full-map screenshot shrinks to a few green pixels in the feed. Crop to the player and the moment, then let the background blur.

The game's logo in the middle

Another Axiom's fan content policy says you may not put the official logo in the center of fan content or imply the game endorses you. The words on the thumbnail should name the moment instead.

A dark forest with nothing lit

Gorilla Tag's greens and browns blend together when small. Give the subject one light colour the background doesn't have.

Words under the duration badge

YouTube prints the video's length in the bottom-right corner. Keep the words and the face out of it.
