Since launching OpusClip over 2 years ago, we have served millions of creators and businesses, helping them produce short videos faster and more efficiently. Throughout this journey, we've consistently heard about a common pain point from our community - video creators are not always graphic designers! Producing eye-catching thumbnails has always been a significant challenge that can bottleneck the content creation process.

Today, all of that changes.

Announcing OpusClip Thumbnail - Never produce a thumbnail by hand again

We're excited to announce that in partnership with OpenAI, we've built the first GPT-4o powered YouTube Thumbnail maker - allowing you to simply paste your video link (or upload the video file) and get a high-performing thumbnail back within minutes. No design skills needed.

Our thumbnail generator considers the genre of your video content and other contextual details, drawing from winning thumbnails created by the world's top video creators. We're leveraging GPT-4o for this tool because it provides a fast, scalable foundation to build upon without the need to train an image model from scratch. Its high prompt adherence, precise text rendering, and ability to integrate with other visual elements make single-shot thumbnail generation not just possible, but practical. GPT-4o also supports a wide range of visual styles, making it ideal for serving the diverse needs of today's creators.

With OpusClip Thumbnail, creators will be able to publish even faster, allowing them to get back to what they do best - making videos. This has always been our mission.

3. Our AI will start generating your thumbnail, factoring in the genre of your video and its contents, and drawing from the best examples of thumbnails from the world's top video creators
4. Within minutes, your thumbnail is ready to export and publish!
