What is ClickPilot?

ClickPilot offers a suite of tools designed to enhance YouTube thumbnail creation and performance. It allows creators to preview how their thumbnails and titles will appear within the YouTube interface, including on mobile devices, ensuring optimal presentation before publishing. The platform facilitates comparison against competitor thumbnails, enabling users to identify opportunities to stand out within their specific niche.

Beyond previewing, ClickPilot serves as an inspiration hub with a searchable library of over 40,000 viral thumbnails.

FAQs

How does ClickPilot help in making better thumbnails?

ClickPilot helps by allowing previews within the YouTube UI to see how a thumbnail looks surrounded by others, facilitating comparison against competitors to stand out, and enabling team collaboration for refining designs for maximum performance.
What can collaborators do?

Collaborators can preview any thumbnail/title in your project on the Preview page and comment on any of your thumbnails on the Comments page. Collaborators cannot add or remove thumbnails/titles from the project or see your inspiration Board.
What is the difference between Commenters and Editors?

Commenters do not require a ClickPilot account. They can comment on, view, and download project thumbnails, but they cannot add or remove thumbnails/titles from the project or see your inspiration Board. Editors must log in to ClickPilot, but don't require a paid plan. They can add and remove thumbnails/titles from the project, contribute to your inspiration Board, and comment on thumbnails.
What happened to the Free plan?

The Free plan was a limited time offer while ClickPilot built the full version. The paid Solo/Business plans are now live with a full host of features.
