Video to thumbnail: original frame or AI image

A moment from your video may be the right subject. Choose whether to preserve the frame or generate a new scene.

A quick answer

Upload your video file and choose a frame. Original-image mode adds text without regenerating the person. AI modes can alter the scene and face. This workflow does not import a video from a YouTube URL.

Your video file

Work with footage you provide yourself.

Original frame with text

Keep the person in the selected frame.

A new visual idea

Choose an AI mode for a different scene.

Step by step

How to approach it

01

Upload the video

Use footage you have permission to use.

02

Select a moment

Find a sharp frame with a clear subject.

03

Choose the mode

Use original-image mode or a generated draft.

04

Review the export

Check the person, message and readability.

Finding a useful frame

A still moment often gives a clearer image than fast movement. Look for open eyes and room for text.

The frame need not explain every chapter. It should set a reasonable expectation together with the title.

Keeping the original person

Original-image mode avoids generating a new person. The selected frame remains the image's foundation.

For a generated scene, inspect faces, clothing and objects closely. Keep the original as a reference.

Common questions

Good to know

Can I paste a YouTube link?

This workflow needs your video file. A link does not replace the upload.

Will the person stay unchanged in every mode?

No. Generative modes can change their appearance. Use original-image mode when needed.

Work with your own content.

Develop thumbnails from text, images or your video file. AI features require a paid plan.
