Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to make a podcast thumbnail?
A few minutes. The tool downloads your episode, finds the best shot of every participant, cuts out the faces, lights the scene and composes the thumbnail with your title.
What size should a YouTube podcast thumbnail be?
1280×720 pixels, 16:9 — exactly what YouTube expects. The file comes out ready to upload, no resizing needed.
Do I need Photoshop or design skills?
No. You paste a link, pick a style, download. A full editor is there if you want to move a text or change a colour, but you never have to open it.
Does it work with several guests?
Yes — one, two, three or four people. The tool spots each participant in the video and places them in the composition on its own.
Can I keep my own studio background?
Yes. One option pulls the background of your own set from the video, removes the people standing in it, and reuses it as the backdrop.
Is there a free plan?
