Let's go. So, the first thing you need to do is go to skys.io and then log in. After you log in and you're inside, you will see all your projects here under my project. And let's [music] create our first thumbnail. So, click on new thumbnail. And here you can describe your thumbnail or you can upload a YouTube link or also upload a file. But let's use YouTube video because this is probably the easiest thing [music] ever.

So let's go ahead on YouTube and find a video we're going to create a thumbnail for. So I'm going to go on this YouTube channel of Jonathan Mast because he's not really using thumbnails a lot. I want to show him why he should be using Sky Snow. So you can see he didn't really upload any thumbnail. He just [music] used a screenshot from his video. So if we're going to take this video, you can just copy the link and put it here.

Now you're going to create a project and it will create a project [music] where you can pick templates for your YouTube thumbnail. So here are also templates for real covers or thumbnails for your YouTube. And this is great because you don't need to prompt anything. You just pick a template that [music] you like. So, let's say I like this template that's called statement. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to choose one of these avatars here, which you can add anytime, [music] right?

So, if you're creating it for Jonathan, we have to take his profile picture and put it in Sky Snail. [music] So, you have to go here and add an avatar. Then, you're going to upload an image and upload his profile picture there. [music] I already added his avatar here. So, I'm just going to click on his, choose the template, and click on generate. Now, it only takes a few seconds and AI will generate your thumbnail considering the YouTube video.

Everything that's been said in the video, it will transcribe it and then it will create information about it that will be used for creating this thumbnail. So if you click on this info here, you can see the summary from the video here that you can copy paste anytime or you can see these title suggestions for the YouTube video. This one was already published so you don't need that. But when you upload a file, it will automatically give you title [music and snorts] suggestions.

So you can also open the transcript here or delete the project. But you can see the first thumbnail here. [music] It took his face nicely. And there is this beautiful title right here. If you want to use it, you can just go ahead and click download. And if you want to edit anything about the thumbnail, you just click on edit. And let's say I want to change the color of the text. So I'm going to say change the yellow color on the text to red color.

And [music] let's click on apply edit. And and let's just wait a few seconds until we get [music] the revision. And boom. This is our updated thumbnail. So, I just changed the color of the text in [music] seconds. But you can do anything. Okay. If I want, I can add a hat on his head or I can change the text totally. [music] So, let's try that. I'm going to say change the title [music] text to AI mastery 2026. And let's try and regenerate [music] it again.

So this is a very useful feature because AI doesn't always create a perfect thumbnail on the first try. So you can always edit small details that you want about the thumbnail and it literally takes a few seconds instead of creating it for 30 or 60 minutes in Canva. And here's our thumbnail. It nailed the text perfectly. So now I can just go ahead and download and it's done. So this is how you can create thumbnails in seconds.

And let me show you different template for example. And now I'm going to try text behind object. So just click on that one and [music] click generate. Okay. And if you prefer more engaging thumbnails, it created one like this. You can [music] see AI skills behind him. And it looks really engaging, much better than the video without a thumbnail. Right now he will get probably hundreds of more clicks on his videos if he starts using Skysell.

And if you don't like any of these thumbnails, you can always click on it and delete [music] it from here. And boom. Now, let me show you more examples. So, here I uploaded an AI influencer image and chose this template and it made this image. [music] And so, if you don't like anything about the image, you can see I changed [music] the color of the text, right? It went from blue to red. And I also changed the text. So here it was linkad in OS content waterfall media company and [music] here you can see it's personal brand temporary peak viral again.

Okay so all the text is editable colors font anything that you can imagine and then I even made this real cover with her face. All you have to do is upload your avatar here and then choose from these templates any one that you like. And nonetheless, and it's also worth saying that this is just like 17 thumbnails and there will be tens of them in the next few weeks. If you want to check all your avatars, you can click here in the left menu.

These are the avatars that are in my profile. And if you want to delete any of them, just go to your account and you can delete them here by clicking on this X and it's gone. Now, if you don't want to create your thumbnail from a YouTube video or a file, but from a prompt, just click on new thumbnail and add your description or even transcript of the video here. So, let's say I'm just going to type in this one sentence and let's see what we can create.

So, create a project. And now I'm going to choose this template and I'm going to choose my avatar of course. So, let's hit generate and [music] let's see in a few seconds. Okay. And there is our thumbnail. So, let's have a look. I kind of like the crazy face because [music] it's just engaging. You know, when you're scrolling on YouTube, you're just looking for something that will catch your eye. And this may be it. But of course, maybe the first generation of the thumbnail is not what you wanted.

So, let's try and edit it. Change the text to AI thumbnail hack. Now, apply edit. And let's go.
