What this tool does

The model attempts a similar appearance. It does not identify the original font file, and outline thickness or shadows may differ. Review the result at full and reduced size.

Real results on controlled test artwork

Actual model requests on artwork we created, with raw outputs linked and limitations disclosed. These are not customer submissions.

Actual Nano Banana Pro 2K request on artwork created for this controlled test. The after image uses the editor’s browser compositor; the unmodified model file is linked below.

Changed:: “BOLD ROAST” to “DARK ROAST”
Result:: Composited model result; 3.9% pixel-difference estimate, the rest restored from the original
Dimensions:: 1200 × 800 input; 2528 × 1686 model output (2K tier)
Observed time:: 35.2s for this controlled request
Review & test limits:: The serif appearance is similar; no font file was identified and exact glyph or kerning identity is not established.

A video thumbnail heading

Actual Nano Banana Pro 2K request on artwork created for this controlled test. The after image uses the editor’s browser compositor; the unmodified model file is linked below.

Changed:: “5 QUICK TIPS” to “7 QUICK TIPS”
Result:: Composited model result; 2.4% pixel-difference estimate, the rest restored from the original
Dimensions:: 1200 × 800 input; 2528 × 1686 model output (2K tier)
Observed time:: 39.8s for this controlled request
Review & test limits:: The heading is readable at the displayed size. This does not measure click-through rate or more complex outlines.

How to approach this edit

A video thumbnail is usually judged at a fraction of its source size. A replacement that looks clear while zoomed in may be unreadable beside other videos. Treat the edit as a visual draft and inspect it at the actual listing size.

Thick outlines, shadows and text that overlaps a face or object can be difficult to repaint cleanly. Enter the whole short heading and keep similar line lengths. If the message needs several new lines, rebuilding the thumbnail in a design tool gives more control.

The model can change a heading but cannot check whether it accurately describes your video. Confirm numbers, claims, faces, logos and other visual elements before publishing. A different headline does not by itself establish a better click-through rate.

2
Enter the exact old and new text
Copy the existing phrase as it appears, then supply the intended replacement including capitals and punctuation.
3
Inspect before downloading
Review the whole image, the highlighted area and the lettering at full size. Check the actual output dimensions. Download PNG or JPG only when the result is suitable.

Frequently asked questions

Can I keep the thumbnail font and outline?

The model attempts a similar appearance. It does not identify the original font file, and outline thickness or shadows may differ. Review the result at full and reduced size.

What does one request cost?

Each submitted edit uses 1 site credit. A new account gets 1 free edit; further credit packs start at $3.90. A technically failed task is refunded automatically. A returned image still needs your quality review.

Will the rest of the image be unchanged?

The model is asked for a localized change. Our browser check can restore the surrounding original when differences are contained, but this is a heuristic. Broad redraws and changed aspect ratios are flagged for review.

Is 2K output available?

Nano Banana Pro is requested at its 2K tier. Pixel dimensions depend on the model and aspect ratio. A larger export does not recover detail missing from a small upload; always inspect the actual dimensions.

How long does it take?

Processing time varies with the provider, image and workload. The task is saved and can be checked again without a second charge. See our performance page for measured samples rather than a promised completion time.

Are uploaded images private by default?

Uploads and results use public-by-link storage URLs in this version and are sent to the configured AI provider for processing. Do not upload confidential material. See the Privacy Policy for access and deletion details.
