WHY WTHUMB
The thumbnail, at a thumbnail price
A library of thumbnails that won
Thousands of thumbnails from popular channels, each with its outlier score: the video's views over its channel's median. Sort by it, press Recreate, and the winner becomes your brief. Free with an account. On 1of10 the outlier database opens fully from the $19 Basic plan.
Full HD+ with no upscale
Every thumbnail comes out at 2048 × 1152 (1152 × 2048 for Shorts), sharper than 1080p, straight from generation. Nothing to upscale and nothing extra to pay. 1of10 outputs 1280 × 720 and sells the 4K version as an upscale.
Landscape and Shorts from one brief
Ask for 16:9, 9:16 or both at once. WThumb recomposes the idea for each frame instead of cropping, so a landscape reference becomes a real Shorts thumbnail and the other way round. 1of10's own guide says to switch format and generate again.
Faceless, even from a reference with a face
Skip the photo and WThumb takes the person out of the reference and rebuilds the frame without anyone. Any winning thumbnail can become a faceless one: made for faceless channels and for creators who automate their uploads. 1of10's pages do not describe this.
Your face at no extra cost
Save a persona once and your face goes into the thumbnail as it is made, in the reference person's place. No training fee and no separate swap step. On 1of10 a Face Swap is a separate step at 4 credits.
What 1of10 has that WThumb does not
- Research across YouTube: an outlier finder across YouTube, with a niche explorer, channel tracking and a Chrome extension, in full on its paid plans.
- Titles, ideas and video edits: title and video-idea generators and an AI video editor on the same credits.
Pick WThumb if
you know what the video is and need the thumbnail itself, in both formats, with your face or none, at a price that fits a few uploads a week.
Start freePick 1of10 if
finding the idea is the hard part and you want research across YouTube, with titles and ideas in the same place.
