Smart Thumbnail AI Agent - Let AI agents choose the perfect thumbnail from your videos!

by
•
A good thumbnail is the biggest reason people click. With Smart Thumbnails, you can ask your AI assistant to get you the best thumbnail from any video that is statistically most likely to drive clicks and engagement. The thumbnail is literally the only part of your video that every potential viewer sees. A blurry, mid-blink, half-dark frame buries great content. That's why we launched Smart Thumbnails to automatically choose the perfect thumbnail from your videos to boost engagement!

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Every video team hits the same wall: the thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks play, and most pipelines just grab a frame at 0.5 seconds and hope for the best, which is how you end up with a poster of someone mid-blink. Smart Thumbnails runs a two-stage AI pipeline over the whole video and returns the most compelling frame. Set `total` higher than 1, and you get the top N ranked candidates instead, so your team (or your users) can pick from a shortlist that's already been filtered. It runs in the same job as your transcode, so it costs you one API call, not a separate pipeline.

I work at and we shipped something I've personally wanted for a while.

A thumbnail is the single biggest lever in whether a video gets watched and one part of your video that every potential viewer sees. Your thumbnail decides if users press play, and a bad thumbnail can prevent some of your best content from ever being seen.

That's why we launched Smart Thumbnails to automatically choose the perfect thumbnail from your videos to boost engagement!
