Thumbnails

Generate eye-catching YouTube thumbnails with AI — from a video URL or your own reference photos — and iterate until you land on the perfect click-magnet.

Thumbnail generation workspace with prompt input and generated variations
Enter a prompt, choose your input method, and generate thumbnail variations.

Two input methods

You can kick off a generation in whichever way feels most natural:

  • YouTube URL — Paste a video link and Aurrra will analyze the content to produce relevant thumbnail concepts.
  • Reference photos — Upload one or more images to guide the style, composition, or subject of your thumbnails.
