Thumbnails that win the click
A thumbnail has half a second to stop the scroll. HayatGen leans on Nano Banana Pro for crisp on-image captions and FLUX Pro / Seedream 4.5 for high-contrast, emotion-forward imagery. Generate in native 16:9 so nothing gets cropped in the feed.
Prompt the scene, the emotion and the exact text overlay, then iterate on color and layout. Test five variations against each other for the price of a coffee and ship the winner.
Generate at the exact YouTube aspect ratio — no awkward cropping.
Big, legible words rendered into the image so it reads on mobile.
Faces and reactions that carry emotion and drive curiosity.
Spin up multiple versions cheaply and keep the highest-CTR concept.

Frequently asked questions
Can AI add text to my thumbnail?
Yes — Nano Banana Pro renders readable text directly into the image, so you can get your headline baked in. You can also generate a clean background and add text in any editor afterward.
Is it free to try?
Yes. Every new HayatGen account starts with free credits and no credit card, so you can generate before paying anything. After that you top up with pay-per-use credits that never expire.
What size are the thumbnails?
Generate in 16:9, the native YouTube thumbnail ratio (1280×720 and up), at up to 4K on supported models so it stays sharp.
Can I use what I create commercially?
Yes. Everything you generate is yours to use commercially — marketing, products, and client work — with no watermark on your downloads.
