Prompt recipes
Copy a structure, then adjust the subject, lighting, camera, and output details for your own result.
Bold product shot
A close-up of a smartphone in a hand with dramatic lighting from the side, dark background with soft glow, photorealistic, high contrast
Dramatic side lighting and high contrast make the product stand out, and the dark background keeps attention on the focal point.
Energetic fitness thumbnail
A silhouette of a person doing a jump squat against a bright sunrise sky, orange and yellow gradient, bold and motivational
Silhouettes read clearly at small sizes, the sunrise palette conveys energy, and the jump motion signals fitness content.
Clickbait-style reaction
A cartoon character with wide eyes and an open mouth pointing at a glowing object, vivid primary colors, simple background
Bold expressions and simple compositions work well in thumbnails, and the pointing gesture directs viewer attention.
Mysterious storytelling thumbnail
A shadowy figure standing in a dark hallway with a single light source at the end, cinematic composition, blue and teal tones
The shadowy figure and single light source create intrigue, and the cinematic composition adds drama.
Clean tutorial setup
A well-lit desk with a laptop, notebook, and coffee cup, soft natural light from the side, minimal and professional
The clean setup signals tutorial or productivity content, and natural lighting adds a welcoming, approachable feel.

Limitations to know before generating
- Text in generated images is often inaccurate or unreadable; add title text in an editor after generation.
- Thumbnails must read clearly at small sizes; complex compositions may lose clarity when scaled down.
- High contrast and a single focal point are essential for thumbnail legibility; vague prompts may produce busy images.
- Style consistency across video thumbnails requires repeating key descriptors in each prompt.
- Review thumbnail images at the actual display size before adding text and publishing.
