Who Is This Software For?
This software is wonderful for YouTube marketers. It allows you to quickly create eye-grabbing thumbnails for each of your videos.
If you’re struggling to get views on your videos, the reason could very well be your thumbnail images.
This tool will give you a better chance of attracting more traffic simply because your new images will be more colourful with professional looking designs.
Also, you can link the software to your YouTube channel and use the split testing feature for improved optimization. This feature alone can make a big difference to your campaigns.
How Does It Work?
This tool looks like a great time saver, especially for YouTube marketers. It promises many great features on their sales page, like more views, hyper-targeting, and more sales.
This is another product added to the suite of Blaster tools already created by these gentlemen.
Let’s take a look…
Sales Page
According to this sales page, they claim this is the only A.I. Thumbnail creator that creates high-class, professional thumbnails in only 3 clicks.
They offer thumbnail templates (30) that can be customized with their drag and drop editor.
Apparently, you can create an image in 60 seconds or less with no design skills needed. Wow!
They also will do split testing for you, to improve your campaigns with the better performing image. That’s a great addition. This tool is supposed to help you get more:
- Views – to improve your click-through rate.
- Exposure – to help get you more views.
- More subscribers – for more views and sales.
- Savings – by no longer needing graphics or freelance designers.
- Time – because it creates your thumbnails quickly. No waiting on freelancers.
So far, this all sounds amazing. Let’s take a look at the inside, to see if it provides what it promises…
Member Area/Dashboard
Well, I’m happy to say that it does deliver! You’ll have to go through all the upsell offers though, lol.
I always recommend you try the front end product first, as all the upsells are still offered inside the platform. You might want to get the “Pro” and “Club” upgrades for more templates and features.
The templates in the main product are limited to 30. So your choices are very limited for any particular niche.
The first thing you should do is go through the training videos first. You’ll get a feel for what this software can do for you before you start.
The tab for the training videos has all of them in one place. Each of these videos also auto-plays on each section as you click on its tab. For instance, when you click on “Thumbnail Creator”, the training video will pop up automatically for you.
YouTube Accounts
If you’ve only purchased the front end product, you will only be able to use 1 YouTube account. So depending on how serious a YouTube marketer you are, this may not be enough.
The Pro upsell allows you unlimited accounts if you need more.
It’s easy and straight forward to add your YouTube account to the software.
Thumbnail Creator
When you click on the Creator, you will see that the system has uploaded all your videos from your channel.
Now you have the opportunity to choose an existing video thumbnail, or start from scratch (if you’re creating a new video to upload).
There are templates already included with your purchase, and they range through a variety of niches.
That way, this product can be useful for any customer, as not everyone will have the same niche.
So let’s say you choose a “Clickbait” template and choose one that you like…
The software will automatically input your video details. If you were reviewing “Boomerang Buddy”, it will put that name onto the new template image.
Now you can make any changes that you want, with text, colours, shapes, etc.
If you are working from scratch, there’s a really nice option to create transparent images, if you purchase the pro upgrade.
If you click on shapes, you can choose already loaded images such as “cutout hands”. These images already have no background.
You can play with these images and create your own funky thumbnail.
You can also upload images to have the software remove the background for you. Then save them as a PNG, and you can use it again for other thumbnails later on.
This is something I frequently do with Photoshop, so it’s a great feature for those of you who don’t own a program like that.
When you’re happy with your edits and click save, you now have the option of saving it in different formats:
- Save as PNG
- Save as JPG
- Save with Watermark
- Publish on YouTube
The option to save it directly to your already uploaded video is very convenient.
When you choose to do that, a warning comes up explaining how it can take up to 6 hours for YouTube and Google to update your thumbnail.
YouTube rarely takes that long, but Google usually takes longer than YouTube.
AI Image Analyzer
This function is available with the Pro upgrade. It’s part of the software that links you to Google’s “Vision AI” tool to see if you’re following their “Acceptable Practices”.
The Thumbnail Blaster only shows you one segment of Google’s tool, which is the “safe search” segment. It includes:
- Adult
- Medica
- Spoof
- Violence
- Racy
If you’re truly interested in this data, you need to head over to the actual Google tool. They offer much more data on different aspects of your images.
Split Test
This is a very cool feature. You can upload two different thumbnails for one video, and the system will change the image once per hour.
It will record the number of views that each thumbnail receives, and then upload the winning one automatically.
This step alone can save you a lot of time!
I believe this is a unique addition to a product like this. Split testing is important to find out the kind of data you need to improve your campaigns.
Training Videos
Each training video is shown in two places. You can access all of them under one tab, down the left-hand side of your dashboard.
They will also automatically pop up in each pertaining section.
For instance, when you click on the “creator” tab, it will pop up as soon as you enter that section. The same goes for each tab on the dashboard.
The videos are clear and to the point, and offer you all the training you need for each section.
Upsells
OTO #1: Pro Upgrade
The Pro upgrade has many more additional features to enhance your images and give you more choices.
- It will allow you to add unlimited accounts.
- It provides you with their VIP support through their “Team Viewer”.
- You will be able to create your own custom designs and save them as your own templates to use later on.
- It includes the AI Analyzer so that you’ll always be sure to comply with Google’s safe practices.
- Adds additional images filters.
- Includes a “transparency” tool to remove image backgrounds.
OTO #2: Agency Upgrade
If you’re interested in selling thumbnail images as a freelance business, then this agency upgrade will allow you to sell what you create, and keep all the profits.
There will be training included to show you where and how to post your gigs, as well as a done-for-you landing page website to sell your video services.
You’ll also be able to add your customized watermark to your images for previews and remove them only after they’ve paid for your services.
OTO #3: Template Club
With this upgrade comes additional templates:
- 280 new VIP templates.
- 20 clickbait templates.
So with the front end purchase, you now have 330 templates in total to choose from.
Each month that you remain a member, you’ll receive 20 new templates. And as a VIP member, you can also request new niches and templates. That’s pretty cool!
OTO #4: Lingo Blaster
With Lingo Blaster, you can have your videos rank for 100 languages. Upload a single video, and this software can instantly translate into up to 100 different foreign languages.
It can work with multiple accounts at a time and increase your video exposure by over 75%.
Simply select your video, the languages you want your title and description translated, and the software does the rest.
Demo Video
Just a warning… he talks pretty fast, so if you have a hard time following, just click on the “cogwheel” to adjust the playback speed.
My Concerns
Personally, I think this tool is great. If you’re a video marketer, it’s a wonderful asset to have. It not only will save you time but provide you with professional looking thumbnails.
There are just a couple of things that annoy me with the platform, and I wanted to share this with you so you know what to expect.
- The training videos are set up to automatically pop up each time you go into one of the sections. When you’re starting out, this is convenient to remind you what to do.
But once you’ve got the hang of it (which takes no time at all…), I found it very annoying to always have to remove the popup each time.
- The choice of templates with the front-end product is only 30. And because that includes different niches, there wasn’t always one that I wanted to use. I would have to pick the best choice at the time and do more editing to make it fit the video topic.
This is where upgrade #3 is needed. I know this is how the creators make their money, but really? Only 30 templates to choose from?
Other than that, I really enjoy Thumbnail Blaster.
I usually did all my thumbnails in Canva, which is another great and free online tool. But unless you enjoy creating images from scratch, it might be frustrating to create something that looks professional.
Pros
- Low Cost
- Cloud-based
- 60-day money-back guarantee with Clickbank
- 30-day money-back guarantee with WarriorPlus
- Drag & drop editor for easy editing
- Use templates or start from scratch
- Has transparency editing feature
Cons
- Front end product lacks in templates (only 30 in all)
- Doesn’t allow you to add meta-data to images
- Requires the Pro upgrade for optimal use
Final Thoughts And Recommendations
I believe this tool is great for pumping out many new thumbnails for your already existing videos.
Of course, that’s if you think they need improving, lol.
If you find that some of your videos are getting low views or poor ranking, it could very well be because of your thumbnails. It’s more important than you may realize.
Think about when you’re looking for a certain video to watch. Aren’t you more attracted to those thumbnails that stand out? I know I do!
Personally, I love creating my own images with Photoshop. But that’s the artist in me… If you don’t own that kind of software, or have difficulty coming up with your own ideas, then this tool is a big advantage for you.
Thumbnail Blaster is great for creating those eye-popping thumbnails that will get the most attention. All you do is choose a template, make a few edits, and publish! It’s that easy!
Is Thumbnail Blaster a scam? No
Would I recommend it? Yes
Now, this is all assuming you already have videos for your marketing campaigns. And if you don’t yet, this could be a great asset for when you start.
Do you have your own online business yet? It’s a wonderful way to create an online income. Even if it’s simply a hobby to start, it could eventually turn into a very profitable venture for you.
But of course, to accomplish that, you really should get the proper training. I see too many entrepreneurs starting on their own, only to end up quitting due to the frustration.
And that’s because they’re relying on any free advice they find online. It’s not that it’s wrong, but it’s never laid out in a system that’s easy to follow, or in the right order.
Even a hobby blog should start with step 1, lol.
Can I make you my honest recommendation?
I’d love for you to come and check out where I learned everything about creating an online business. They taught me all about affiliate marketing, which is the easiest way to start making money online.
I’ve been on this platform since 2011, and have enjoyed many new additions, courses, improvements, etc, and never have my membership fee go up. It’s really amazing!
They offer everything you need under one roof. All the excellent training, the tools, and a large and active community. It’s a live community environment that’s integrated right into the platform.
Can you imagine what you could accomplish with this training, and a tool like Thumbnail Blaster?
The best part is that you can start for free with no credit card needed. Isn’t that great?

So what do you think about the Thumbnail Blaster? It looks amazing, doesn’t it. It’s fun to use and easy too.

P.S. Please share this post with your marketing friends…
Hey Suzanne,
I’ve not heard of thumbnail blaster, and love the idea!
I tend to use a mix of Canva and Gimp to create my designs, but will certainly give it a look.
I like the split test function, but with only 30 templates to choose from, I’d probably go for the upgrade!
Thanks again for your review,
Kathy
Hi Kathy, and thanks for commenting!
Yes, it’s an interesting tool for sure.
I use Canva as well, but this tool saved me much time and effort. And for the low cost, it’s definitely worth it.
Just get the upsell at the “downsell” price, to save you even more!
I love the split testing feature. It’s always important to test all your campaigns. It’s amazing what a little tweaking will do for your sales.
Cheers,
Suzanne
Hey Suzanne,
I am impressed with the amount of information you have compiled about thumbnail blister.
You covered the basics but also dove into the good and the bad.
I will take a look at the product but, like you, I find the limited amount of thumbnails disheartening.
Thanks for the review of this product. I will check out your other reviews. If they are this thorough, I have found my tech product review go to!
Thanks again,
Sandi
Hi Sandi, and thanks for your kind words!
I’m glad you enjoyed my review. I like to be thorough so that people will know exactly what to expect if they purchase the product.
This one is good, but they all have some limitations. And that’s because the owner is selling it for this cheap. They are hoping to encourage you to buy the upsells.
There’s nothing wrong with that, but they rarely tell you upfront, lol.
In the end, though, the front end product plus maybe one upsell is still cheaper than many other similar tools out there.
Hope to hear from you again,
Suzanne
