In their own words
ThumbPocket
ThumbPocket is a browser-based studio for making thumbnails from a photo or video frame, aimed at creators publishing to YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram or Vimeo. It cuts out the subject, generates backgrounds, applies styles and exports PNG images. The editor includes bold text, automatic outlines, draggable placement and side-by-side A/B variants. Subjects can be rendered in real, realistic, cartoon, 8-bit, LEGO or sketch styles. All accounts export 1280×720 images; Creator adds 1920-wide exports, while Studio and Ultimate add 4K 3840×2160 exports without a watermark. The full cutout, background, text and export workflow also works in a mobile browser without installing an app. Only AI actions consume credits; editing, text tools, layers, saved projects and exporting are not metered. Users retain rights to their uploaded images and created thumbnails, including commercial use. ThumbPocket says it does not train models on users' images or share them. The editor is free; Creator costs €19.99 a month.
