Why it matters

An Article Without an Image Is Easy to Scroll Past

The featured image is the first thing people see in Google Discover, image search, your blog index and every shared link.

Eligible for big previews

Google Discover and rich results favour large, high-quality images. Google recommends at least 1200px wide; every thumbnail here is 1600 × 900.

A second way to be found

Each featured image goes up with the article title as its alt text, so it can surface in Google Images as well as web search.

Clicks from every share

Your featured image becomes the preview card when an article is shared on social, in chat apps and in newsletters. A blank card gets scrolled past.

A blog that looks like a brand

Your colour, your logo and the same layout on every post. Readers recognise your articles in a feed before they read the name.

Styles

Four Layouts. All Yours.

Pick one for the whole blog or mix them per article. Every layout uses your colour and logo.

How it works

From Article to Featured Image in Under a Minute

  1. 1

    Pick the article

    Choose any article you wrote with us or one already on your Shopify blog. Or switch thumbnails on and every new article gets one automatically.

  2. 2

    AI designs it

    We generate a photo made for that topic, then lay it out with your title, brand colour and logo in the style you choose.

  3. 3

    Publish in one click

    Tweak the text, colour or photo crop if you like, then set it as the featured image. On Shopify it goes straight onto the article.

FAQ

Thumbnail Questions, Answered

What is an AI thumbnail generator for blogs?

It designs the featured image for a blog article for you. EnhanceMySEO generates a photo for the article’s topic, then lays it out with the title, your brand colour and your logo, ready to use as the article’s featured image.

What size are the thumbnails?

1600 × 900 pixels, a 16:9 ratio. That is wider than the 1200px Google recommends for large image previews, and it crops well into blog grids and social share cards.

Can I edit a thumbnail after it’s made?

Yes. Open it in the thumbnail studio to change the headline, layout, colours, panel side, edge style, text size, logo and how the photo is cropped. The design is saved, so you can reopen it later.

Does it work with Shopify?

Yes. Connect your store and you can make thumbnails for articles already on your Shopify blog, then set them as the featured image in one click. Articles written with EnhanceMySEO can get theirs automatically.

How many thumbnails do I get?

Kickstart includes 50 thumbnail photos a month and SEO Takeover includes 180. If you run out, you can buy 20 extra photos for $10; extras never expire. Editing a thumbnail you already made doesn’t use a photo.

Are thumbnails included on the free plan?

The free plan includes two articles a month so you can see the writing quality. Thumbnails come with the paid plans, and you can try every layout in the preview on this page first.

Do thumbnails help SEO?

Indirectly, and it adds up. A good featured image makes an article eligible for large previews in Google Discover, can rank in Google Images through its alt text, and gets more clicks when the article is shared. It won’t rank a weak article on its own.
