# How I Make Viral Thumbnails With AI: A Full Guide

## Introduction

Many successful YouTubers are using a secret weapon to generate millions of views – AI-generated thumbnails. This tool, called Pixels, allows creators to make professional-quality thumbnails in just 30 seconds without hiring expensive designers who might charge $100 per thumbnail.

## What is Pixels?

Pixels is an AI thumbnail generator that can create virtually any style of thumbnail imaginable:
– Object thumbnails
– Action thumbnails
– Three-panel thumbnails
– And many more styles

The tool costs just $1 to access (according to the video creator) and is described as “the first and only thumbnail generator that actually works.”

## Key Features of Pixels

### 1. Recreate Feature

This powerful feature allows you to:
– Copy the link of any viral YouTube video
– Have Pixels recreate a similar thumbnail with your own elements
– Adjust the “inspiration weight” to control how similar your thumbnail is to the original
– Add specific prompts to customize elements (like changing the person in the image)

The creator emphasizes that these are unique thumbnails that won’t cause copyright issues, while still leveraging proven formats.

### 2. Creating Thumbnails from Scratch

You can also generate completely new thumbnails using detailed prompts:
– Enter a specific description of what you want in your thumbnail
– The tool will generate a high-quality image based on your prompt
– Use the “redo” feature to generate variations until you get the perfect result

### 3. Edit Feature

After generating a thumbnail, you can make specific adjustments:
– Change details like facial expressions, clothing, or colors
– Add or remove elements
– Fine-tune without regenerating the entire image

### 4. Face Swap Feature

This allows you to:
– Upload an image of any person
– Swap their face onto the figure in your thumbnail
– Create personalized thumbnails featuring specific individuals (the creator notes you should have permission for this)

### 5. Text Integration

Unlike many AI image generators, Pixels excels at adding text to thumbnails:
– Creates clear, readable text in various styles and colors
– Positions text effectively within the image
– Allows for attention-grabbing headlines
