Question 1

Why do AI thumbnails boost CTR?

Accepted Answer

YouTube's #1 algorithm metric is CTR (click-through rate). Top YouTubers like MrBeast share visual patterns: (1) bold text (2) dramatic / shocked expressions (3) high-contrast saturated colors (4) big arrows / circles highlighting the point. Our model is optimized for all 4, lifting average CTR by 30-50%.

Question 2

What YouTube niches are supported?

Accepted Answer

Gaming (live shocked / esports / Minecraft), Tutorials (cooking / tech / DIY), Vlogs (travel / lifestyle), Educational (data viz / history), Kids, Fitness, Automotive, Business. Each niche has a dedicated visual template.

Question 3

What's the standard size?

Accepted Answer

YouTube recommends 1280x720 px (16:9). Yeha Ultra (Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra) outputs 2048x2048 px — crop to 16:9 (2048x1152) in /create, well above YouTube's minimum. Shorts 9:16 also supported.

Question 4

Can I add text to the thumbnail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Powered by Z-Image (Yeha Free) or Gemini 3 Pro Image, both render text accurately. In the prompt write something like: Add big white text: HOW I LOST 50KG. Z-Image is strongest for Chinese text rendering.

Question 5

Will YouTube penalize AI-generated thumbnails?

Accepted Answer

No. YouTube policy only restricts misleading AI content (deepfake politicians / fake news). Pure creative visuals are fine — AI-generated thumbnails have the same legal status as Photoshop designs, fully compliant.

Question 6

Can I create MrBeast-style split compositions (left vs right)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Write in prompt: split composition: left side scene A, right side scene B, big text in middle. Our model handles split layouts well — MrBeast's signature red vs blue comparison generates directly.

Question 7

Can I use this tool in the free tier?

Accepted Answer

This tool uses credits based on the selected model and options. The separate Z-Image Turbo free tier allows 1 generation per day for visitors and 3 per day for registered free accounts; it may not apply to this tool. Any promotional welcome credits show their amount and expiry in your account. Current plans and packs are confirmed on the Pricing page and before checkout.

Question 8

Can I A/B test different thumbnail styles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Same prompt run multiple times = multiple variants — pick the highest-CTR one to ship. Or vary one keyword (cinematic / dramatic / cartoon) for 3-5 versions. YouTube Studio's built-in A/B test pairs perfectly with our tool.
