Simple pricing, no surprises

Describe your video (or paste a YouTube link to pull in the title), optionally pick a preset style, and Nano Banana Pro (Gemini) generates a CTR-optimized thumbnail in seconds. You can generate more than one variation in a single pass to compare options before committing to one. Every result is ready to download as a PNG sized to 1280×720 — YouTube's native thumbnail dimensions — with an optional 4K export for creators who want a higher-resolution source file. If a result isn't quite right, you don't have to start over: you can either regenerate with an adjusted prompt or style, or use the edit feature to describe a specific change (like a different background or expression) and apply it to the existing thumbnail for a smaller credit cost than a full regeneration.

No. There's nothing to design manually — describe what you want in plain language, choose a preset style if you'd like, and the AI produces a finished thumbnail. There are no templates to drag around, no layers to manage, and no canvas to learn, unlike traditional design tools where you assemble a thumbnail element by element. If the first result isn't right, you can iterate by adjusting your description, switching to a different style preset, or generating a few variations at once to compare — the AI handles composition, text placement, and visual balance on its own. This makes it a practical option for creators who don't have (or don't want to spend) design skills, without sacrificing a polished, CTR-optimized result.

Each plan includes a monthly pool of generation credits that refills on renewal: Starter gets 400 credits/month, Pro gets 1,000, and Advanced gets 2,600. A standard generation costs 10 credits as a base; adding a style preset costs 5 more, and a 4K export costs 8 more. If you generate multiple variations in one pass, each extra variation beyond the first costs 5 credits. The exact total for your specific combination is calculated and shown to you as a live preview before you click generate, so you always know the cost upfront rather than being surprised afterward. New accounts also start with a batch of free credits to try the product before subscribing to a paid plan.

Yes. New accounts get 40 free credits on sign-up with no credit card required — enough for several base generations — so you can evaluate the AI's output quality before deciding on a paid plan. Separately, the YouTube thumbnail viewer tool lets you pull and download the thumbnail from any existing YouTube video for free, with no account needed at all, though that tool doesn't involve AI generation — it's a quick utility for grabbing a thumbnail image, not for creating a new one. If you want to see what the AI generation itself produces, the signup free credits are the way to do that firsthand rather than just reading about it.

Yes, directly from your account settings — no phone call or support ticket needed. Cancelling stops future renewals, and you keep full access to your plan along with any remaining credits until the end of your current billing period, rather than losing access immediately. There's no cancellation fee and no minimum commitment period. Because Paddle acts as our Merchant of Record for billing, your subscription status and any related receipts are also reflected in the confirmation Paddle sends when a change takes effect. If you subscribe again later, you start fresh on whichever plan you choose at that time — credits don't carry over from a previous, already-cancelled subscription.

Polar, as our Merchant of Record — they handle billing, invoicing, and tax compliance (like VAT and sales tax across different countries) on our behalf, so we don't have to manage that complexity directly. Your card details are entered and processed on Paddle's checkout, and they never touch our servers directly, which keeps your payment information out of our systems entirely. Paddle supports the major card networks and standard checkout methods for your region. Because Paddle is the Merchant of Record rather than us, refunds and billing disputes are also handled through their process, in line with our published refund policy.

Yes. You own full commercial rights to every thumbnail you generate — use it on YouTube, in paid ads, on merchandise, anywhere you like, with no attribution required. Nothing is added to the image on our end: no ThumbnailMaker watermark, no logo, no branding baked into the export, whether you're on a free-credit generation or a paid plan. The file you download is exactly what gets uploaded to your account's storage, at 1280×720 or optionally 4K, ready to publish as-is. If you edit a thumbnail afterward using the edit feature, the new version is yours the same way — the original stays in your history untouched, but neither one carries any ownership restriction beyond your own account being the one that generated it.

Your prompts and generated thumbnails are stored privately in your account, used only to provide the service, and never shown to or shared with other users. You can delete a thumbnail at any time from your dashboard, and deleting your account removes your stored data.
