Packaging research

Find the look for your next big idea.

Every thumbnail here belongs to a proven outlier, a video that beat its own channel's baseline. The titles are stripped off on purpose, so you read the packaging the way a viewer does: image first, in a feed full of competition.

More room for your best work

A little less busywork.
A little more possibility.

Only proven packaging

The wall is drawn from the scored outlier corpus. Every thumbnail earned its place by overperforming, not by coming from a big channel.

Titles stripped, on purpose

With titles hidden you judge the image alone (composition, faces, text density, color) the way it actually competes in a feed.

Visual lookalikes

On a curated subset of the library, find thumbnails visually similar to one that caught your eye and study the pattern across niches.

How it works

Filter to your battlefield
Narrow the wall by niche and outlier threshold so you're studying the packaging you'll actually compete against.
Read the patterns
Faces or no faces, text-heavy or clean, high-contrast or muted. Patterns pop when you see a hundred winners side by side.
Build your version
Take what works into the Thumbnail editor and test the result in the Thumbnail Preview before publishing.
