Getting started

9 questions
What is Bloggers.tools?

A service for YouTube creators: AI packages your video – title, description, tags and timestamps – and creates thumbnails based on the video’s content. Plus a channel audit, collaborations, media kits, an ad marketplace and other tools. Over 12,000 creators already use it.

Who is behind Bloggers.tools?

The service was built by Sergey Pavlovich – an active creator who has been running the People PRO YouTube channel (902K subscribers) for 8 years. Everything in Bloggers.tools we first built for ourselves. Learn more on the About us page.

Is it free?

Yes, you can try it for free: after you sign up, the Free plan gives you 1 video SEO generation and 1 thumbnail. They’re a one-time trial and don’t renew every month.

What services does the site offer?

Video SEO (title, description, tags and timestamps), thumbnail generation, a channel audit, collaborations, media kits, an ad marketplace, a channel marketplace, AdSense payouts, copyright-free music and a blog. All in one dashboard.

What services are coming soon?

Script Improver – it makes your Shorts, Reels and TikTok script drafts stronger. And AI Scriptwriter – it writes a script based on a breakdown of the top videos on your topic. We’ll announce the launch on our Telegram channel.

Do you need access to my YouTube channel?

No. For video SEO and thumbnails, a link to the video is enough. You paste the finished result into YouTube Studio yourself.

What languages does Bloggers.tools support?

The site is available in English and Russian. Video SEO and thumbnails are created in the language of the video itself – there’s nothing to choose.

What videos does it work for?

Any YouTube videos with speech, including Shorts and unlisted videos. You can also make a thumbnail for a video that isn’t uploaded yet – from a description.

Can I use the results in commercial videos?

Yes. Titles, descriptions and thumbnails belong to you – use them anywhere, including in sponsored and commercial videos.

Video SEO

14 questions
Do I need to upload the video?

No, a YouTube link is enough. Unlisted videos work too, so you can package a video before it goes public. If you’ve just uploaded it, wait 20–80 minutes: YouTube needs to generate subtitles, and that’s what the service analyzes.

How long does it take?

Usually up to 5 minutes, even for an hour-long video. If the video was just uploaded, first wait 20–80 minutes for YouTube to generate subtitles.

How does the service know what the video is about?

From the subtitles of the entire video. Timestamps run from start to finish, and the titles, description and tags are built from what’s actually said in the video.

What exactly do I get?

7 title options, 2 description options with hashtags, a list of tags and timestamps for the whole video. Every option copies in one click.

Does it work for videos in other languages?

Yes. The packaging is always created in the video’s own language: for a video in Spanish, the titles, description, tags and timestamps will be in Spanish. You can’t choose a different output language.

Does it work for Shorts?

Yes. Paste a Shorts link just like a regular video. The only requirement is that the video has speech, since the packaging is built from subtitles.

Is it suitable for long interviews?

Yes. Long episodes and interviews are exactly where setting timestamps and writing a description by hand takes the longest. There’s no limit on video length.

What if there’s no speech in the video?

Those videos won’t work: the packaging is built from subtitles, and videos without speech – just music, gameplay without commentary or sounds – don’t have any.

Will the service publish the packaging to YouTube for me?

No. You copy the options you like into YouTube Studio and tweak them to your style if you want. No channel access needed.

Can I regenerate if I don’t like the result?

Yes, the result page has a “Generate again” button, and it doesn’t use up another generation. You can rate each block 👍 or 👎 – that’s how we improve the generation.

Where can I find past results?

In the history below the submission form: you’ll see the video, status and date. Any finished result can be opened again and copied.

How many generations are included in my plan?

The Free plan includes 1 generation, once, as a trial; paid plans include 7, 14 or 30 a month. Video SEO and thumbnail generations are counted separately. Your remaining balance is shown right in the tool, and current limits are on the Pricing page.

What if a generation fails?

A generation that ends with an error doesn’t count against your limit. If the error keeps happening, contact support.

Does this replace channel promotion?

No. Good packaging helps YouTube understand what the video is about and who to show it to, and helps viewers decide whether to watch. But it’s not advertising and doesn’t guarantee views. To find out what’s holding your channel back, try a channel audit.

Thumbnail generation

21 questions
Is the thumbnail made only from a text prompt?

No. The service reads the video’s full subtitles and creates a thumbnail based on its content – so the thumbnail doesn’t promise what isn’t in the video.

Can I make a thumbnail if the video isn’t on YouTube yet?

Yes. Instead of a link, click “Video not uploaded yet” and describe the video – the thumbnail will be ready for publishing.

Can I use a link to a video that isn’t on YouTube?

No, links work with YouTube only. For a video from another platform, click “Video not uploaded yet” and describe it in words.

I pasted a link to a new video – why doesn’t it work?

If the video was just uploaded, wait 20–80 minutes: YouTube needs to generate subtitles, and the service analyzes the video using them.

What if there’s no speech in the video?

Such a video has no subtitles, so the service can’t analyze it from a link. Click “Video not uploaded yet” and describe the video in words – the thumbnail will be made from your description.

Can I update thumbnails on older videos?

Yes. Paste a link to any published video – the service will read its subtitles and create a new thumbnail. It’s a way to refresh videos that still get impressions.

What’s the difference between “Automatic” and “Professional” modes?

In automatic mode, you give a link or a description – and the service creates the thumbnail on its own. In professional mode, it first suggests three concepts: you pick a direction and refine the description before generating.

Can I write my own text on the thumbnail?

Yes, in both modes – right when generating. You can leave the headline to the service or specify exactly what text you want on the image.

What language will the thumbnail text be in?

The language of your video – no need to choose.

Can I add my own photo or a reference?

Yes, but it’s optional. Upload your own photo, photos of a guest and the interviewer, or of several guests at once. You can also add an object reference – for example, so the thumbnail shows exactly this truck, as in the photo.

How long does it take?

Usually 3–5 minutes – even if the video is an hour and a half or two hours long.

How many thumbnails does one generation give?

One. All thumbnails and their refinements are saved in the “Thumbnail generation history” right in the tool – with date, format and status. You can download any version, not just the latest one.

Can I make a vertical version for Shorts?

Yes. The generator creates 16:9 thumbnails for YouTube and 9:16 for Shorts and Reels. A finished horizontal thumbnail can be turned into a vertical one with one click – and vice versa. Each such version is a separate generation.

Can I refine a finished thumbnail?

Yes, on the Pro and Talent Manager plans: the “Refine this” button changes details of the selected option instead of generating everything from scratch. The first refinement of each thumbnail is free; the following ones use a generation.

What uses a generation and what doesn’t?

Every new image uses a generation: the first thumbnail for a video, “New thumbnail”, a vertical version from a horizontal one and vice versa, and refinements except the first one. The first refinement of each thumbnail is free.

If a generation fails, is it lost?

No. A generation is deducted at launch, but it’s returned if something went wrong on our side or the request was rejected because of a prohibited topic.

Can I make several versions for a YouTube test?

Yes. Make several thumbnails with the “New thumbnail” button – each uses a generation – and upload them to A/B Testing in YouTube Studio. YouTube will show which thumbnail performs better. The test works on desktop for channels with advanced features turned on.

What format is the thumbnail downloaded in?

A JPG file. The horizontal thumbnail is 1920×1080 and usually weighs less than a megabyte, so it fits within YouTube’s 2 MB limit.

Will the service set the thumbnail on YouTube for me?

No. You download the finished thumbnail and set it on your video in YouTube Studio yourself. No channel access needed.

Who owns the thumbnails?

You do. Use them anywhere, including in commercial videos.

Which topics aren’t allowed?

The generator doesn’t create 18+ content, material involving minors, violence, drugs, weapons, extremism, discrimination or anything else that breaks the law. The full list is on the “Prohibited topics” page.

Plans and subscription

11 questions
What’s included in the Free plan?

All platform services plus 1 video SEO generation and 1 thumbnail – a one-time trial to test the tools on your own videos. These generations don’t renew every month.

How many generations does each plan include?

Free – 1 video SEO generation and 1 thumbnail, once, as a trial. Per month: Starter – 7 each, Pro – 14 each, Talent Manager – 30 each. Video SEO and thumbnail generations are counted separately.

How do the plans differ besides the number of generations?

Starter adds media kits. Pro adds media kits with a short link, regeneration of video SEO and thumbnails, and affiliate links. Talent Manager adds priority support. Each plan includes everything in the previous one.

How much do paid plans cost?

From $19 a month, or from $16 a month billed yearly. There’s a 14-day money-back guarantee, and you can cancel your subscription in your dashboard in a couple of clicks. All plans are on the Pricing page.

How much do I save by paying yearly?

Up to 19% compared to monthly billing. The exact discount is shown on each plan card – switch to yearly billing above the plans.

Do unused generations expire?

Yes, on paid plans: unused generations expire at the end of the month and don’t carry over to the next one. Free plan generations are a one-time trial.

Can I change my plan mid-period?

Yes, you can change your plan at any time without waiting for the paid period to end.

How do I cancel my subscription?

In your dashboard, at any time – it only takes a couple of clicks.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, there’s a 14-day money-back guarantee.

What if I don’t like the result?

If a generation fails on our side, it isn’t counted. On the Pro and Talent Manager plans, you can refine thumbnails and video SEO instead of starting over.

How can I pay for a plan?

In Russia – by bank card, SBP transfer or cryptocurrency. In other countries – by card, crypto, PayPal, Payoneer, Skrill, Neteller and more. See the full list for each country here.

Balance, payments and withdrawals

5 questions
How do I top up my balance?

In your dashboard, under My Wallet. We accept bank cards, cryptocurrency and other methods depending on your country – see the full list here. If there’s no suitable method, contact support and we’ll top up your balance manually.

Is there a fee for topping up?

It’s set by the payment provider and depends on the payment method – we can’t influence it.

What happens if the service I ordered couldn’t be completed?

The money goes back to your balance. For services performed by someone else – such as collaborations or buying a channel – the money isn’t charged right away: it’s held until the order is completed. If it can’t be completed, the amount returns to your balance.

How do I withdraw money from my balance?

In My Wallet – you’ll also see the withdrawal methods available in your country there.

Why is the withdrawal fee 2% to 3%?

It’s required by the payment system, not by us. The fee also applies when you withdraw money that was deposited but never spent: processing the payment still costs money.

AdSense payouts

6 questions
How can I withdraw my AdSense earnings through Bloggers.tools?

We connect your channel to our Google AdSense, calculate the channel’s earnings and credit them to your Bloggers.tools wallet every month. From there you withdraw in dollars, euros or cryptocurrency.

How do I connect my channel?

Add your channel in your dashboard (My channels → Add channel), apply for AdSense payouts and answer the questionnaire accurately. Then give our account the “Manager” role in your channel’s YouTube Studio: Settings → Permissions. Once your application is approved, we connect your channel to our AdSense ourselves. The full walkthrough is on the AdSense payouts page.

When do I get paid?

At the end of the month we record your channel’s earnings, and around the 26th–27th they become available for withdrawal in My Wallet.

How much does it cost?

26% of your AdSense earnings: a 23% service fee plus 3% for withdrawal.

Why does your account need the “Manager” role?

To connect your channel to our AdSense and see what you’re owed at the end of the month: Google AdSense doesn’t break down earnings by channel. That’s why our account must stay in your channel’s permissions.

Do I need to give access to my Brand Account?

No, never. Access is granted only from your channel’s YouTube Studio → Settings → Permissions.

Media kits and ads

11 questions
Can I sell ads and find advertisers through you?

Yes. List your ad formats and rates in your media kit – or take ready-made offers on the ad marketplace.

What is a media kit?

A creator’s online resume for brands that updates itself: your channels and social accounts, audience, engagement, ad formats with rates and past campaigns. Instead of sending stats screenshots to every brand – one up-to-date link.

How do I create a media kit?

Open Media kits in your dashboard and click “Create”. Add a name and a short bio, connect your platforms, choose a country and categories – and save.

Which plan includes media kits?

Media kits are included starting with the Starter plan, and a media kit with a short link comes with Pro. All plans are on the Pricing page.

What can I show in a media kit?

Your name and bio, connected social accounts (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Twitch and others), country and categories, audience stats and engagement, ad formats with rates, successful campaigns with results and a short video intro.

Where do the stats come from, and is it safe?

Stats are pulled directly from your connected social accounts – through a secure, read-only connection. We don’t store or know your social media passwords.

How do I share my media kit?

Download it as a PDF, send it by link or email, or share it on social media. A media kit can be public or password-protected.

Can I create several media kits?

Yes – for example, separate ones for advertisers, media and collaborations, with different platforms and designs.

What can I customize in a media kit?

The background color, a short link and which social accounts to show. You can hide Shorts stats – if your channel is mostly long-form – and Instagram Stories stats.

How is engagement rate (ER) calculated?

Likes, comments and reposts on a post are added up and divided by the number of followers.

How does the ad marketplace work?

Verified brands post ad campaigns, and you choose the ones that fit your audience. You’re paid per view, click or sale: the model and terms are listed in each offer on the ad marketplace.

Collaborations

6 questions
How do collaborations work?

It’s a way to reach another creator: pitch a joint video or discuss a deal. Each creator sets their own price per message and replies within 3 days. Some are happy to talk for free.

How do I find a creator to collaborate with?

In Collaborations, set your search criteria: channel category, number of subscribers and message price. Each creator’s card shows subscribers, number of videos, views, categories and message price.

What if the creator doesn’t reply?

If the creator doesn’t reply within 3 days, the money goes back to your balance.

Why do I enter an amount in the “Collaboration” section when adding my channel?

It’s the amount you’d accept for reading incoming messages from other creators. Since the sender pays, you get specific proposals rather than spam. You’re paid only if you reply. If you don’t reply within 3 days, the money goes back to the sender.

Can I block a sender?

Yes. If a sender bothers you or their offer doesn’t fit, you can block them – and unblock them later if you change your mind.

Can I message creators for free?

Yes, if the creator has set their message price to 0 – and many have.

Channel marketplace

5 questions
How do I buy a channel?

Pick a channel in the catalog: you can filter by category, price, number of subscribers and videos, channel age and monthly income. Each card shows income, subscribers, videos, views and price.

How can I trust the buyer when I sell my channel?

All channels are first transferred to our company’s Google account and only then to the buyer. The site administration will send you instructions in private messages.

How do I technically transfer my channel to you when selling?

Step-by-step instructions are on the Channel transfer page.

How long does a channel transfer take?

The transfer itself takes a few minutes. But YouTube only lets you assign the Primary owner role 7 days after the invitation at the earliest. If you want to keep your channel’s custom URL, remove it on the old account and wait 72 hours.

What if I can’t transfer my channel?

A channel can’t be moved if it’s linked to a work, school or family Google account. If you don’t see the list of accounts, check that no other users have access to the channel. Still stuck? Contact support and we’ll help.

Channel audit

5 questions
What does the channel audit check?

Your channel’s packaging (name, design, editing), technical setup, video optimization, key YouTube Analytics metrics and how they relate, audience engagement, niche, competitors and content strategy. The result: critical mistakes, growth opportunities and a development strategy.

Is the audit done by AI?

No, by people: experienced YouTube analysts, each with at least 10 years of personal experience on YouTube.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

200 USD. It takes up to 10 working days, usually less.

What do I get?

A detailed PDF report with channel analytics and recommendations (with a glossary of terms), a text report and a consultation with the specialist who prepared it – you can ask follow-up questions. When the report is ready, you’ll get a notification by email and on the site.

How do I order an audit?

On the audit page, fill in the form: your channel link, niche, goal, ideal viewer, main content challenge and how much time a week you can spend on the channel. If guest access is needed, a specialist will contact you through the official support account.

Copyright-free music

4 questions
Where can I get music without copyright issues?

We recommend Epidemic Sound: over 40,000 tracks and 90,000 sound effects for YouTube videos, Shorts and streams. Learn more on the Copyright-free music page.

Can I use this music outside YouTube?

Yes: in videos for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and Twitch, in documentaries and even in ads.

How much does it cost?

The first week on the Personal and Commercial plans is free. Paying yearly is the better deal – it works out half the price. The Commercial plan costs $300 billed yearly and covers up to 3 channels.

Is there a free option?

Yes, the YouTube Audio Library in YouTube Studio. But the choice there is much smaller.

Affiliate program

5 questions
How does the affiliate program work?

Sign up and open the affiliate program section in your dashboard – your link is there.

Where can I see my stats?

In the same section: clicks, sign-ups, earnings and a detailed report of incoming payments.

Does a creator count if they don’t sign up right away?

Yes, if they sign up within 30 days of clicking your link.

What is the minimum payout?

$5. Withdrawal methods are in My Wallet.

Support and security

4 questions
How do I contact support?

Through the Support section in your dashboard or by email at support@bloggers.tools.

I didn’t find an answer or want to suggest a new feature

Contact support – we’ll answer your question and consider your suggestion. Project news is on our Telegram channel.

How safe is it to use the service?

Video SEO and thumbnails don’t need access to your channel – a video link is enough. Media kits get social media stats through a read-only connection, and we don’t store passwords. AdSense payouts only need the “Manager” role on your channel – never give anyone access to your Brand Account.
