Most thumbnail tools are a form: describe it, pick a style, get four images you then have to fix. Loudthumb is an agent. It learns your face, your palette and your past thumbnails, asks about the video before it spends anything, and runs a dedicated face pass so you still look like you at 320x180. Create, edit, face swap, expression, title ideas and a scored CTR analysis all live in one studio. 200 free credits on signup, no card.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
Loudthumb is a YouTube thumbnail tool that tries to be an agent rather than a form.
The problem it's built around: composing a good-looking scene is close to solved, but keeping one specific person's likeness intact through that composition is not. Most tools hand you a great thumbnail with a face that's nearly yours. What actually works is refusing to do it in one shot — Loudthumb composes the scene freely, then runs a second dedicated face pass over it. Two model calls where you asked for one thing. You never have to know that.
It also doesn't generate immediately. Ask for "a thumbnail for my new video" and you get questions first: what's the hook, does your face need to be in it, where does the text go. A clarifying question costs a fraction of a cent; a wasted generation costs 10 credits. Generating against a brief the tool hasn't understood is how credits quietly disappear.
Everything lives in one studio — create, edit, face swap, expression, title ideas, and a scored analysis that tells you why a thumbnail won't read at 320x180.
It's free right now: 200 credits on signup, no card, nothing to buy. Pricing isn't settled and I'd rather find out whether the thing is useful first. Failed runs refund automatically, and a prompt rewrite that comes back unusable never charges you.
I'd genuinely like to hear where it falls down — especially on faces it hasn't seen much of. What's the thumbnail you can never get right?
