BYSO
What it is
BYSO turns a YouTube URL, video, audio file, or .srt/.vtt subtitle file into publishing materials: a title, description, tags, and up to three thumbnail options. It can also create clickable chapters with timecodes. Thumbnail variants download as 1280×720 PNG files, and the tool can detect vertical 9:16 formats for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. Users can provide a reference photo for the AI to place recognizable people in a thumbnail.
The web service lists English, Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Ukrainian, though free-plan output is limited to English and Russian. The described workflow is to copy generated titles, descriptions, and tags into YouTube Studio. BYSO includes keyword research and metadata optimization, but not rank tracking or channel audits. Its free plan costs nothing, provides 10 signup credits without a card, and allows two thumbnail generations or 10 SEO-only generations. Paid use is per generation: SEO-only costs $0.10, paid once, and full generation costs $0.50, paid once. Credit balances do not expire, and the dashboard retains the last 100 generations and thumbnails for three months.
