Hey you guys, welcome back to the blog!
Tom Sage here, and in this post, I want to give you a Thumbnail Blaster review from the perspective of an actual user—my personal take, including the good, the bad and the ugly. I've been seeing a ton of spammers trying to sell Thumbnail Blaster by giving misleading reviews of this software.
It upsets me to watch reviewers who ONLY mention the positives of a product, without also talking about the negatives.
By leaving out the negatives, people like you could often get the wrong idea of a software and end up quite disappointed after they've made a purchase.
Scammy marketers intentionally leave out the negatives because they want you to buy the product just so they get paid affiliate commissions.
It is a dishonest and repulsive practice. 
Here, I offer 100% legit reviews no matter what.
This is a completely unbiased review of Thumbnail Blaster. I've gone through the product from start to finish so I've got a solid understanding of what it's all about.
I'm super excited to shed some value and tell you guys all about it. I'll wrap up the review with a recommendation from the following:
No Brainer!—Pretty Good—Undecided—Nah—Dreadful!

So enough chitchat. Let's get right into it!
Who exactly is selling Thumbnail Blaster?
A team of software developers, marketers and entrepreneurs who appear to be based in Romania. I actually like that they're completely foreign and not from California for once!
Vlad and Stoica are the founders and owners of Thumbnail Blaster, they are online marketing entrepreneurs with 10+years of experience in the industry.
They've developed several other software tools like Speechelo–which I'll be reviewing in a future video. Vlad and Stoica can be found on facebook so you can learn more about them if you wish.
What exactly is Thumbnail Blaster?
Thumbnail Blaster is a drag and drop software that allows you to create your own customizable thumbnails. The software includes an arsenal of proven, high converting templates, themed around several niches.
Once you've chosen a thumbnail template you like, you have the option to modify ANY part of the thumbnail and make it truly yours. The software is fully customizable so you can change your fonts, styles, colours, layouts and themes.
What is Thumbnail Blaster claiming?
Thumbnail Blaster claims to offer high-converting, attention-grabbing thumbnails for the most affordable price. The seller argues that Youtube's search engine heavily favours videos that have high quality thumbnails and that people are naturally attracted to videos with thumbnails that are provocative and unique.
So far, I can't disagree.
The software's main selling point is this:
You'll be able to create a pro thumbnail in 60 seconds or less and triple your click through rates.
Let's break it all down.
Thumbnail Blaster quickly caught my attention. I was interested because I needed high quality thumbnails for the videos I put out. My solution for thumbnails up until that point, was Fiverr. I worked with a decent thumbnail designer who created them for me.
I paid around $15 for 3-4 thumbnails, which wasn’t a bad deal. However, Thumbnail Blaster's offer of lifetime access to high converting thumbnail templates sounded like a good investment. Over a lifetime, it seemed to be a cheaper alternative.
So I decided to purchase Thumbnail Blaster.
I soon discovered that I had only purchased the basic version of Thumbnail Blaster which only includes 30 thumbnails and very limited features.
After purchasing Thumbnail Blaster, I was immediately prompted to upgrade to the 'pro' version.
Getting baited to buy the basic version of Thumbnail Blaster, and then immediately getting up-sold to buy the pro version didn't impress me at all.
I was more disappointed to see that the pro version doesn't even provide you with more thumbnail templates, which is the most important part of Thumbnail Blaster.
But here's what you DO get with the pro upgrade:
As you can see, the pro version offers you a few extra features over the basic version.
Let's explore some of them below:
Use Multiple Accounts
Add as many accounts or channels at the same time instead of logging out and back in for every new account.
Image Filters
Allows you to change Hue, Brightness, Pixelation or Blue effects effortlessly.
VIP Support:
If you encounter any issues with the software, the support team will provide assistance.
Remove Background
Remove green screen or backgrounds from your images live in the editor.
A.I Image Analysis
This analyzes your thumbnail and makes sure its compliant in Youtube's eyes so that it won't get penalized.
Whether or not you decide to purchase the pro version, you'll be met with yet another up-sell. This time for the 'Agency' upgrade.
The agency upgrade allows you to sell the thumbnails you create to other people who might be interested in buying them. For example, You-tubers such as yourself.
Below are some of the added features you get with the upgrade.
Sell Your Thumbnails
You'll be able to sell the thumbnails and keep 100% of the profits.
Thumbnail Cash Machine
This is an E-book which guides you on starting a thumbnail flipping business.
Add Your Client's Videos and Accounts
You'll be able to have your clients videos and accounts conveniently on your Thumbnail Blaster interface.
Watermark Thumbnails
Watermarking your thumbnails is valuable as you'll be able to ensure you get paid for the un-watermarked versions.
Tired of all these upsells yet? I remember feeling overwhelmed..
Well don't faint just yet! Because here comes the subscription up-sell!
This up-sell provides you with more than 300 templates to work with + 20 new ones each month. This means within a year you'll have more than 500 templates.
Here's why the Club license upgrade is the most important.
- This is the only upgrade that allows you to have more thumbnail templates.
- Since you are likely working in a single niche, you can't use all 30 templates that come with the basic plan because they're themed around multiple niches.
- You NEED as many templates as possible because the more you have, the more you'll be able to leverage FOR your videos IN your niche.
- Yes the price is high and I initially felt that it wasn't reasonable. However, when you you look at it from a long term perspective, it really is an absolute steal. NEVER paying freelancers to create thumbnails for you again, is worth buying this.
- There are more than 400 videos uploaded on Youtube per MINUTE. You absolutely need the best possible thumbnails to improve your CTR and increase your chances of getting more views and subscribers.
Pricing (All in USD)
Let's talk about pricing guys. I'll give you all the details you need right here, including ALL hidden costs.
- 1The basic version of Thumbnail Blaster is $37
- 2Pro upgrade for a one time payment of $47
- 3Agency license for one time payment of $67
- 4Club license for $1 for a month and then $27/Month OR one time payment of $197
- 5EVERYTHING Thumbnail Blaster has to offer is worth $348
Here's what I recommend:
Don't buy every single upgrade that the buyer shoves down your throat. Instead, here's what I found to be the perfect combination of components you need to get the most out of Thumbnail Blaster without having to sell your toes.
I recommend that you only buy the basic version and the club template in one payment. This will cost you a total of $37+$197= 234
**IMPORTANT** To access the one time payment option for the club membership Do NOT buy the subscription when you see the up-sell. Also, the one time payment option is NOT available unless you have a direct link for it. I've provided a special link below for your convenience. You can ONLY buy the membership AFTER you've purchased the Thumbnail Blaster basic version.
Paying ONE time is better than a monthly subscription.
Here's why:
- Paying a monthly subscription adds up and over time will cost more than if you'd just purchased the membership with one payment. Why not get it right from the start?
- Peace of mind, you pay for it once, that's it that's all!
- You have 60 days to ask for a refund!
- Permanent solution that is 100% cheaper than hiring a thumbnail freelancer.
I would recommend that you ONLY buy the agency upgrade IF you find buyers who are actually interested and willing to pay for your thumbnails. Otherwise, why buy the agency license when you have no-one to sell thumbnails to?
Wait until you get a customer who's 99% going to buy the thumbnail and THEN upgrade to agency.
Secondly, you DON'T need the pro version because I'm going to give you a link that separates background from image for free. However, without the pro version, you won't be able to use image filters.
I wouldn't worry too much about that though because unless you're advanced enough with the Thumbnail Blaster interface, you're likely to make a mess with the image filters. You'll probably be much better off without it until you become more acquainted with Thumbnail Blaster's software.
Your welcome 🙂
Summary
Pros
- Thumbnail blaster offers excellent, scroll stopping templates that are fully customizable.
- Save a ton of money on freelancers.
- Opportunity to create your own thumbnails and sell them for $$ to other You tubers with the agency license.
- One stop shop for thumbnails forever.
- 60 Day money back guarantee.
- The pro version offers background removal and a super detailed texture editor which is super useful.
- A lot of freebies come with the pro and agency upgrades (Photos, E-books, Icons, and other thumbnail elements.)
- Club membership offers you with more than 400 templates with 20 new, fresh ones coming in each month.
Cons
- The basic membership ONLY offers you 30 templates and limited features.
- To fully benefit from Thumbnail Blaster, you need to have access to the club membership which either costs $27 per month or a one time payment of $197.
- The drop and drag features on Thumbnail Blaster aren't the best I've dealt with. Canva's drag and drop is much better for example.
- A LOT of upsells. Buying the FULL version of Thumbnail Blaster can get quite expensive. If you decide to buy everything, you'll be spending close to $350. (That's why I recommend only buying the basic version and the one time club upgrade purchase of $197.)
- Spammy email marketing once you give the seller your email. I understand that the seller wants to keep everyone updated on new products through webinars. However getting more than 10 emails in a week was a bit much for me. (Just unsubscribe from their email list.)
Thumbnail Blaster Review: The Conclusion
So what's the final conclusion for Thumbnail Blaster?
After considering ALL of the above, we are giving Thumbnail Blaster a grade of:
Pretty Good!
Thumbnail Blaster is an excellent resource for You-tubers who are looking to get more views and grow their subscriber base. Creating thumbnails isn't for everyone and outsourcing can be quite a hassle.
I remember having to always wait for days before my designer sent me a thumbnail I requested. If I didn't like it, I'd have to send it back for revision, which would take another couple of days. Before I even know it, I'd spent over a week waiting to receive a single thumbnail.
Thumbnail Blaster allows you to take control of the thumbnail creation process without having to design anything yourself and without depending on a freelancer.
Grow your views and EXPLODE your subscriber base by getting your own Thumbnail Blaster for a great price when you use my link!
**IMPORTANT** Once you've purchased the thumbnail blaster, don't forget to purchase the club membership with the special link I've provided above. The special link allows you to purchase the club membership with ONE payment instead of having to pay every single month.
