Creators are basically guessing what will stop people scrolling and compel them to click.

TubeBuddy AI presents a heatmap on your thumbnails, allowing you to see what your audience sees. The result: better thumbnails, which means more clicks, more subs, and more of every metric that matters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, you can put an AI generated YouTube thumbnail up against a non-AI generated YouTube thumbnail to see which will perform best&#8230; and that&#8217;s just the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thumbnail Analyzer is available to every TubeBuddy user. <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/tubebuddy\/mhkhmbddkmdggbhaaaodilponhnccicb\" rel=\"nofollow\">Free users<\/a> can experiment with this and other TubeBuddy features but if you&#8217;re serious about YouTube success, unlock unlimited access to every channel optimization opportunity with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TubeBuddy Legend<\/a> license.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"color:#ddd\" class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-spacer gb-block-spacer gb-divider-solid gb-divider-size-1\"><hr style=\"height:30px\"\/><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-thumbnail-analyzer-helps-you-easily-choose-your-best-custom-thumbnail-nbsp\">How Thumbnail Analyzer Helps You Easily Choose Your Best Custom Thumbnail&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A great thumbnail is a preview of your video.

It stops people from scrolling and compels them to click. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TubeBuddy Thumbnail Analyzer AI identifies the areas of your thumbnails that viewers are attracted to, whether that\u2019s the placement of any text or another aspect within the image. Creators receive a predictive score, relative to your current thumbnail, that shows the likelihood of someone clicking on your thumbnail and watching your video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"843\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-2-843x1024.png\" alt=\"AI generated YouTube thumbnail: Testing thumbnail performance in TubeBuddy Thumbnail Analyzer.
