About

GenLayers is an AI thumbnail studio for YouTubers. Type your video title and a rough idea the way you’d normally describe it, and it generates a 16:9 thumbnail with bold hook text. You don’t need to write long, detailed prompts.

You can also:

  • Upload a rough sketch and have the AI follow your layout

  • Upload a reference image or a previous thumbnail

  • Add your own face from a quick selfie

  • Swap backgrounds

  • Fine-tune any detail with plain-English edits

There’s no subscription. You buy credits once and use them whenever you want, and new users get 200 free credits. Every credit pack includes a commercial usage license.

Next, I’m building a layered canvas where the text, face and background are separate layers you can edit without regenerating the whole thumbnail.
