Sized for publishing
Covers built for each feed — not one stretched still.
Post covers are the first thing people see next to your draft. Generate layouts matched to platform ratios from the same YouTube video.
One video, many cover sizes
Start from a public YouTube URL and produce covers aimed at X, blog headers, Instagram, RedNote, and LinkedIn formats.
Designed for the post, not the player
Output is meant to sit next to captions and articles you publish — a publishing asset, not only a player preview frame.
Faster than resizing in Canva from scratch
Skip hunting for a still and rebuilding every ratio by hand. Generate a first cover set, then refine typography and crop.
Pairs with your post drafts
Use the same YouTube link for copy drafts and covers so text and visuals ship together.

FAQ
Post cover generator FAQ.
Can I generate post covers from YouTube for free?
Yes — paste a link to start cover generation. Free and paid plan limits for covers apply in TubeSeeks.
Is a post cover the same as a YouTube thumbnail?
No. A thumbnail is YouTube’s player image. A post cover is a publishing asset sized for social or blog layouts you control.
Which platforms can I create covers for?
The hub supports covers aimed at X, blog headers, Instagram, RedNote, and LinkedIn. Open a platform cover page when you only need one format.
Do I need to download the video first?
No. Covers are generated from the video link. Download the file only if you also need the source media.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Shorts links and video IDs work the same way. Vertical Shorts stills often map cleanly to portrait cover layouts.
Is it okay to use any YouTube video?
Only use videos you own or have permission to reuse, and follow YouTube’s terms and copyright law.
