Show HN: I built a YouTube Thumbnail generator with your face

https://www.newhero.ai/
1•timzhangyuxuan•14h ago
I've been making YouTube videos for a while now, and honestly? My thumbnails sucked. I'd either spend way too much time in Photoshop trying to make myself look presentable, or just slap some text over a random screenshot and call it a day.

The worst part was trying to get consistent shots of myself. I'd end up taking like 50 selfies just to find one that didn't look completely awkward.

So I thought: what if I could just describe the thumbnail I want and have it generate one with my face already looking good?

I built something simple: you upload a few photos of yourself, we train a personalized AI model, and then you can just describe your thumbnail idea in plain English.

You can try it here: https://newhero.ai or see some examples: https://newhero.notion.site/ai-poster-showcase

Main questions I have:

Do the generated thumbnails actually look good enough to use?

Does this actually save time for creators making multiple videos per week?

Let me know how it goes, happy to answer any questions you have!
