The Reality Check

Don't Just Test. Create.

Testing is powerful. But you can't test what you haven't built. Stop paying for two subscriptions to do one job.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about PopCreate.

How is PopCreate different from ThumbnailTest or Pikzels?

PopCreate is an all-in-one platform. While ThumbnailTest only does A/B testing and Pikzels focuses on AI generation, PopCreate combines a full professional editor, automated A/B testing, and analytics in one integrated solution. No need to pay for multiple tools.

Do I need design skills to use PopCreate?

Not at all! Our professional editor is built for creators, not designers. Use smart templates, Picasso generation, and one-click tools to create professional thumbnails in minutes.

How does the A/B testing work?

Simply upload multiple thumbnail or title variants. PopCreate automatically rotates them on your video, collects performance data, and uses statistical analysis to determine the winner. When a variant reaches statistical significance, we notify you.

Is it safe to connect my YouTube channel?

Absolutely. We use YouTube's official OAuth API and only request the minimum permissions needed. We can only update thumbnails and titles—we cannot delete videos or access sensitive data.

What AI models power PopCreate?

We use Google Nano Banana for high-quality thumbnail generation and our in-house Picasso Lite for fast iterations. All running securely on our infrastructure.

Can I try PopCreate before paying?

Yes! Our free plan includes full editor access, 10 Pop-C Credits per month, and 3 A/B tests. No credit card required. Upgrade when you're ready to scale.
