Covers & Thumbnails
First frame that earns the click
Potapio Publish generates preview images and cover layouts from your clip — with text pulled from the transcript so the thumbnail matches the story inside the video.

What you get
During processing the service prepares:
- A preview frame from your footage
- AI-suggested text for the cover
- Title overlay on the video cover
- Preset-based thumbnail designs
Presets keep brands consistent
Each workspace can use its own cover preset: colors, fonts, layout, and overlay style. Client A never accidentally gets Client B’s look.
Changing a preset applies to new processing only — to restyle an old clip, run it again with the updated preset.
Review before publish
Pick the thumbnail design, tweak the cover text, and confirm the final frame in the queue. Platforms receive the cover you approved, not a random still from the middle of the clip.
Platform notes
Vertical 9:16 covers work across Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. YouTube may also use the uploaded thumbnail where the API allows; Instagram and TikTok rely heavily on the first frames users see in feed.
