The score is an Estimate — we call it that deliberately. It blends deterministic image analysis (contrast, palette diversity, edge density) with an AI vision rubric that judges focal point, text readability at 168×94 mobile size, and colour appeal. It cannot predict your real CTR because that depends on your title, your audience, and the specific video — but it is a reliable second opinion on the thumbnail itself.

No. The image is scored in memory and discarded at the end of the request. We never save your uploads.

0-40 is Low — the thumbnail is likely to underperform and the reasons will point to what to fix. 41-70 is Good — solid but has room to grow. 71-100 is Strong — the composition, contrast and focal point all check out.
