FAQGood questions,
Good questions,
straight answers.
How does the AI thumbnail maker work?
Viewcat transcribes the video's opening (15 seconds for a Reel, 30 for YouTube), picks up to six of the best frames, cuts you out, and designs a cover from your prompt. The design is rendered, checked and reviewed before you see it.
Which sizes does it make?
1280×720 YouTube thumbnails and 1080×1920 Reel covers for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts.
Can I change the thumbnail?
Yes. Ask for changes in the chat; each one is a new version. Your own words for the title are never rewritten.
Which AI designs it?
The model you pick: Viewcat AI, your own key, or your Claude Code or Codex, which design with Viewcat's cover render and save tools.
Better thumbnails.
