    Mathieu — founder of Pictiny

    Why I built this

    "I was publishing videos with no idea why some thumbnails got 8% CTR and others got 2%. I couldn't find a tool that gave me a real answer — just generic advice. So I built Pictiny to answer one question: is this thumbnail good enough to publish?"

    — Mathieu, founder of Pictiny
