Featured images
Wide blog covers from the video you already filmed.
Articles need a header that works in WordPress, Ghost, and Open Graph cards. Generate that still from the same YouTube upload.
CMS-ready featured images
Get a wide cover you can upload as the post thumbnail in your CMS — not a vertical phone crop.
Social preview friendly
Headers that also read clearly when the article link is shared and the OG image loads.
Matched to the article topic
Pull composition from the source video so the cover feels like the piece, not random stock.
Ship with the blog draft
Generate the long-form article and the featured image from the same YouTube URL.

FAQ
Blog cover image FAQ.
Can I generate a blog cover from YouTube for free?
Yes — paste a link to start. Free and paid plan limits for covers apply in TubeSeeks.
What size should a blog featured image be?
Drafts target wide header layouts common in CMS and social previews. Check your theme’s recommended pixel size before uploading.
Can I use the cover as an Open Graph image?
Yes. Many teams use the same wide still as the featured image and the OG / Twitter card image.
Does it work with YouTube Shorts?
Yes. Shorts work; landscape talks usually give more natural wide headers than ultra-vertical clips.
Do I need the video file downloaded?
No. The cover is generated from the link.
Is it okay to use any YouTube video?
Only use videos you own or have permission to reuse, and follow YouTube’s terms and copyright law.
