FAQ

  • What metrics does the AI Video Thumbnail Analyzer evaluate?

    Our AI evaluates multiple factors: facial detection and expression intensity, text overlay size and readability, color saturation and contrast, composition and focal points. Each factor is scored and contributes to your overall Click Potential Score.

  • What image formats and sizes are supported?

    We support JPG, PNG, and WEBP formats. Maximum file size is 5MB per upload. For best analysis accuracy, we recommend uploading at 1280x720 (HD) resolution—the standard YouTube thumbnail size.

  • Can the AI guarantee my video will go viral?

    No tool can guarantee virality. Our AI analyzes visual psychology—how "clickable" your thumbnail appears. A high score means technically optimized design, but content relevance and audience fit are still essential for success.

  • What is the saliency heatmap feature?

    The saliency heatmap shows where viewers' eyes are likely to focus first on your thumbnail. This helps you understand if attention is drawn to your key elements (face, text) or getting lost on less important areas.

  • Is the AI Video Thumbnail Analyzer free?

    Yes! Our core thumbnail analysis feature is completely free. Upload your thumbnail and get instant AI-powered analysis, scoring, and recommendations at no cost.

  • Why is mobile preview important for thumbnails?

    Over 80% of YouTube views come from mobile devices. Thumbnails that look great on desktop often have unreadable text or unclear details on mobile. Our mobile preview ensures your design works where most viewers will see it.
