Step 1: Access Pikzels AI and select thumbnail
Visit the Pikzels AI platform and create an account or log in to your existing one. Navigate to the "Thumbnail" section to begin your design process.

Step 2: Input Your Concept (Prompt-to-Thumbnail)
In the prompt-to-thumbnail section, enter a detailed description of your desired thumbnail in the provided text field. Be as specific as possible, including details such as color schemes, subject matter, and overall aesthetic. Once you've provided your concept, click the "Generate" button to initiate the AI design process.
Step 3: Submit a YouTube Link (Recreate Thumbnail)
In the recreate thumbnail section, submit the URL of the YouTube video you wish to recreate the thumbnail of in the required link field. Use the Inspiration Weight setting to adjust the similarity to the video. Once the data and Inspiration Weight are set, click the “Generate” button to generate the thumbnail.
Step 4: Review and Refine
Once the AI has generated your thumbnails, review the results and select the design that best aligns with your vision. You can refine the design by adjusting parameters such as color schemes, text styles, and image placement to create a truly unique and engaging thumbnail.
Step 5: Download and Implement
Once you're satisfied with the final design, download the thumbnail and implement it on your YouTube video. You can also test different thumbnails against each other to determine which design performs best and drives the most views.
