AI Covers and Thumbnails From Your Own Video
StoryCut takes frames from your video and its title and generates a cover image with AI, in one of 6 styles. Add your own instructions if you want something specific.
- Included in Pro (from $14/mo)
Your Cover Is the First Thing People See
On YouTube, and on TikTok and Instagram profiles, the cover decides whether someone taps. Designing one by hand takes time and design skills. StoryCut generates one from your actual video, so it matches what people will watch.
