Pikzels AI

A creator who uploads to YouTube every week and dreads opening a design app for each cover image is the person Pikzels AI suits.

Pikzels AI is an AI thumbnail maker that generates YouTube thumbnails, face swaps and video titles from a pool of credits, so cost follows what you produce.

A thumbnail costs 10 credits and a face swap costs 3.

Plans are priced per year.

Essential starts at $20 for 2,400 credits, enough for up to 240 thumbnails.

Premium gives 18,000 credits, or up to 1,800 thumbnails.

The Ultimate plan goes higher still, with 54,000 credits for up to 5,400 thumbnails.

Premium and Ultimate add persona training at 200 credits per persona, which matters if you want your own face to look consistent across thumbnails.

Essential leaves that out, so check before you buy.

Face swaps and titles draw from the same balance as thumbnails, so heavy swapping will cut your thumbnail count faster than the headline numbers suggest.
