Does this tool generate the actual image?

No. It generates the concept, composition notes, and a ready-to-use Midjourney / DALL-E prompt. You paste the prompt into your image-gen tool to render the thumbnail. This keeps the tool free (image gen is expensive) and lets you iterate on prompts.

Yes. 3 thumbnail generations per hour per IP anonymous; 10/hr with email. The full 12-pattern PDF is email-gated.

Safe = high baseline CTR for new channels. Bold = pattern-interrupt for established channels needing a spike. Experimental = breaks niche pattern entirely (could spike viral or flop). You pick based on your channel's risk appetite.

Does it work for Hinglish text overlays?

Yes. Text overlays come in your niche's natural language (Hindi-Latin Hinglish for gaming/lifestyle, English for tech-review/finance).

How is this different from VidIQ thumbnail templates?

VidIQ templates are pre-baked stock layouts. This tool generates concept-level ideas specific to your video topic, with composition + image-gen prompts — closer to having a thumbnail designer brainstorm with you.
