How templates work
Not a file to edit. A layout the AI rebuilds.
- 01
Pick a layout
Choose the composition that fits your video: reaction, comparison, list, proof, story.
- 02
Add your face and topic
Fleekio uses your avatar photos and your video (a link, a transcript or a brief) so the thumbnail matches what you actually say.
- 03
Generate and refine
Get variants, then edit one area, change your expression or rewrite the text without starting over.
Template questions
Are these YouTube thumbnail templates free?
Browsing them is free. Generating a thumbnail from a template uses one of your 10 trial credits, then the Creator plan at €10 per month. Each image runs on your own AI API key and is billed at cost by your provider.
Can I open a template in Canva or Photoshop?
No. A Fleekio template is not a layered file: it is a layout that the AI reproduces with your face and your topic. You adjust the result in Fleekio's editor, or download the image and finish it anywhere.
Do I have to show my face?
No. The faceless templates work without a person, and several YouTube and vertical layouts use only text or objects.
What size do the templates export?
16:9 templates export at 1280 × 720 and vertical ones at 1080 × 1920, for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok covers.
Who is the person in the examples?
A fictional person invented for this demo library. None of these images shows a real person.
