Guide: how to use Thumbnail Concepts Generator

The thumbnail decides more clicks than the title, and most creators design it last, in ten minutes, from whatever frame is available. The Thumbnail Concepts Generator gives you five complete concepts before you open a design tool: background, foreground element, face direction and expression, text placement, colour scheme, a click-through prediction and a step-by-step recreation guide for Canva or Photoshop.
