How does BetterThumb analyze my thumbnails?

BetterThumb uses advanced Vision AI to analyze your thumbnail against 1,000+ patterns from viral YouTube videos. We evaluate visual hierarchy, text readability, color contrast, mobile visibility, and the 'curiosity gap' factor that drives clicks.

Is BetterThumb free to use?

Yes! Free users get 3 thumbnail analyses per day. This is perfect for casual creators. Power users can upgrade to Pro for unlimited scans, advanced insights, and competitor analysis tools.

What is the 'Dead Zone' and why should I care?

The Dead Zone refers to the bottom-right corner of your thumbnail where YouTube overlays the video duration. Many creators accidentally place important text or faces there, which gets covered. BetterThumb automatically checks for this common mistake.

How accurate is the CTR prediction?

Our AI model is trained on millions of YouTube thumbnails and their performance data. While we can't guarantee exact CTR numbers (too many factors involved), our analysis consistently helps creators identify and fix issues that hurt click-through rates.

Do you store my thumbnail images?

No. We process your images in real-time and do not permanently store them on our servers. Your creative work remains yours. See our Privacy Policy for more details on data handling.
