GenLayers
AI YouTube thumbnail generator and editor
About GenLayers
GenLayers is an AI thumbnail studio built for YouTubers who want high-click thumbnails without hours in Photoshop. You enter a video title and a short description of the look you want, and the tool builds a 16:9 thumbnail layout with hook text and a visual concept. You can also upload a sketch, a reference image or a selfie to guide the result.
After generation, a live editor lets you refine the image with plain-English commands. Common edits include swapping faces, replacing backgrounds and changing text, which makes it easy to copy a proven thumbnail style in your niche. Credits are used for generations and edits.
The main difference from general image generators is the workflow around YouTube thumbnails specifically. Pricing is pay-once credit packs rather than a monthly subscription, and each pack includes a commercial usage license for generated thumbnails.
