Questions, answered

Will the text be spelled right?

The Best quality level handles text well, but keep it to five words or fewer and check the spelling before you upload.

Is it the right size for YouTube?

YouTube thumbnails are wide (16:9). In the studio, check that the format is set to Wide before you create.

How much does it cost?

At the suggested Best quality, one image costs 15 credits. New accounts get 60 free credits, no card needed. The studio shows the exact price before you create, and failed renders are refunded.

Do I need to know how to write prompts?

No. The sentence is written for you: replace the blanks with your own words, or leave them and we use the example words. The Logo & poster style adds the look. In the studio, Improve can rewrite it the way a film director would.
