# Create a thumbnail

# 👍 How do I create a thumbnail for my video?

Create Thumbnail generates a ready-to-use thumbnail straight from your video's own images, so you don't need a separate design tool. It lives in the **Export** panel under **Other Actions.**

### Create a thumbnail

1. Click **Export** in the top-right, then click **Create Thumbnail** under **Other Actions.**
2. *(Optional)* In **Describe the thumbnail**, add direction for the look, e.g. *"Bold title text, dramatic lighting, surprised expression."*
3. Under **Select pictures you want to use to create a thumbnail**, tick the scene images you want the thumbnail based on. (There's a per-model limit, e.g. up to 14 images for Nano Banana 2.)
4. Choose a **Model** from the dropdown (default: **Nano Banana 2**).
5. Click **Create Thumbnail.** The button shows the credit cost (e.g. 2 credits).

Each run produces **one thumbnail.** Want options? Run the flow again, tweak the description or swap the selected images, to generate more.

### Review past thumbnails

Click **See History** (top-right of the Export or Create Thumbnail panel) to see every thumbnail you've generated, handy when you've created several and want to compare and pick the best.

💡 **Tips:**
* Select a few strong, on-character images rather than every scene, tighter input gives a cleaner result.
* Use the description box to add a title or set the mood; leave it blank to let the model choose.
* Generate a few variations and compare them in **See History** before choosing.
