Keep words short and direct. Two to four words usually work better than a full sentence.

Common questions before generating a thumbnail.
What should I include in a thumbnail prompt?
Include the video title, audience, subject, emotion, visual style, and exact short text you want on the thumbnail.
Can I upload my own face or product image?
