Click Through Rate is Everything
You can have the best video in the world. If your thumbnail is boring, nobody watches.
Z-Image helps you generate "High CTR" assets: expressive faces, intense situations, and vibrant backgrounds.
1. The "YouTuber Face"
Love it or hate it, extreme expressions get clicks.
The Prompt:
close up photo of a man screaming in shock, hands on cheeks, wide eyes, open mouth, studio lighting, rim light, vibrant blue and purple background, 4k resolution, youtube thumbnail style
Example:
"close up photo of a woman looking surprised, pointing at camera, wide eyes, bright yellow background, studio lighting, high contrast"
2. Text Overlays
Z-Image is one of the few models that can render legible text.
The Prompt:
youtube thumbnail background, text "VS" in the middle, fire on left side, ice on right side, dramatic lighting, high contrast, 3d render
Example:
"youtube thumbnail, large 3d text "SECRET" glowing in the center, dark mystery background, magnifying glass, cinematic lighting"
3. Composition Rules
- Rule of Thirds: Place your face on the left or ride.
- Contrast: Use complementary colors (Blue/Orange).
- Simplicity: No more than 3 elements.
Conclusion
Stop using stock photos. Create thumbnails that demand attention.
