Does using style references violate copyright?

No. Thumix does not copy or recreate existing YouTube thumbnails. We analyze high-level visual patterns—such as colors, composition, and text layout—to generate new, original designs.

Reference images are used for inspiration only, similar to how creators study trends on YouTube. Thumix does not reuse protected characters, logos, or artwork. Creators remain responsible for ensuring their final thumbnails comply with YouTube policies and copyright laws.
