What Is Thumbly?

Thumbly is a browser-based image and thumbnail creator in the Empirely Tycoon dashboard. Its promise is simple: instant AI thumbnails, with no design skills needed.

However, it goes beyond YouTube. It also creates images for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Reels and Shorts. Then you edit text, filters and shapes in the same window.

Every Platform and Every Size

Each platform wants a different shape. So Thumbly includes presets for:

• YouTube landscape thumbnails (1280 by 720)
• Facebook landscape and portrait posts
• Instagram landscape and portrait posts
• TikTok covers, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts
• Custom sizes for blog headers, email banners and event graphics

As a result, one tool covers every feed, instead of three or four separate apps.

Personalise the AI Social Image Creator

The images that work best feel personal. So Thumbly lets you add your own face, your logo or a product to each image.

Over time, that builds a consistent look across every platform. Smart folders also keep images sorted by campaign, client or series.

How a DJ Can Use It

For example, a DJ could create a bright header for a new playlist guide. Or a clean Facebook image announcing an open date. A blog post on 80s party anthems needs a cover image too.

In fact, any small business owner who posts weekly will save time. That’s the real benefit: steady, branded posts without a designer.

The Honest Limits

• AI images still need checking for odd details and spelling in text overlays.
• Only use photos of guests or clients with their permission.
• You need the Tycoon plan, not the entry tier.

Good graphics attract attention, but trust comes from proof. Reviews and checks like my Trading Standards Approved status matter far more.
