Three thumbnails from a real frame, in about ten seconds.

Use the sample clip or drop your own video. Your video never leaves your device; only the one frame you pick is sent.

Real videos, real frames

Seven music videos. Seven different thumbnails.

Each one built by Thumbnl from a frame of the actual video, in its own look, colored from its own footage. Nothing generated, nothing fake.
