Straight answers

What is youtube thumbnail maker?

A YouTube thumbnail maker produces the 1280 by 720 cover image that decides whether a video gets clicked. APImage generates thumbnail artwork from a description or a reference frame in 16:9, and because generated type distorts at length, the reliable approach is to generate the image here and set the headline with real text using the free text-on-image tool.

How long can a clip be?

It depends on the model. Seedance 2.0 runs 4 to 15 seconds at up to 1080p, Seedance 2.5 runs up to 30 seconds at up to 720p, and FLUX 3 Video runs 5 to 20 seconds at up to Full HD. That covers the range short-form and paid social actually live in. For anything longer, generate a few clips and cut them together.

Which aspect ratios can I get?

9:16 for TikTok, Reels and Shorts, 16:9 for YouTube, 1:1 for feed, plus 4:3, 3:4 and 21:9. You pick the ratio before you generate, so nothing gets cropped to death afterwards.

Can it speak my script?

Two ways, with one gap. FLUX 3 Video generates a synchronized audio track with the clip. Seedance 2.0 can lip sync a face to an audio file you upload, up to 30 seconds. What there is no text-to-speech for is a specific script in a specific voice, so that recording comes from you or from a voice tool you already use.

Can I use the videos commercially?

Yes. Every paid plan includes full commercial rights, so you can run the output as paid ads, organic posts or client work.

Do I need a paid plan?

For video, yes. The free plan covers 3 watermarked images so you can judge quality first. Video is real GPU time by the second, so generation starts on the paid tiers.
