How strong is the expression?\n\n- Lighting Style: Describe lighting (natural, harsh, studio-lit, moody, bright) and its direction (front-lit, back-lit, side-lit).\n\n- Pose & Body Language: Is the subject pointing, gesturing, using props? How dynamic or static is the pose?\n\n- Clothing/Accessories: Any standout colors or elements that should be preserved for brand consistency?\n\n- Background: What type of background is there? Plain, blurred, colored, environmental? Can it be removed or replaced?\n\n- Color Palette & Skin Tone: Note any dominant tones (warm, cool, neutral) that should be preserved in design.\n\nYour output should form a visual personality profile of the creator \u2014 the kind of emotional tone, framing, and style that best represents them in thumbnails.\n\nOutput should be generic and reusable.

Is the design loud, minimal, energetic, dramatic, etc.?\n\n- Subject Framing & Emotion: Describe the positioning of the main subject (if present), including body language, facial expression, and emotional tone conveyed.\n\n- Typography and Text Layout: Where is the text placed? What style is it in (bold, shadowed, uppercase, etc.)? How does it contribute to attention capture?\n\n- Color Palette & Contrast: What are the dominant colors? How is contrast used to create visual separation and draw attention?\n\n- Background Treatment: Is the background blurred, flat, colorful, gradient, or abstract? Does it enhance or compete with the subject?\n\n- Visual Hierarchy: Which elements pull focus first, second, and third?

Each prompt must guide an AI system to create a visually compelling thumbnail that boosts click-through rates and aligns with the creator\u2019s visual brand.\n\n** How It Works **\nYou will receive information about multiple images, both for character descriptions and thumbnails descriptions. Based on this information, choose the most proper data to create a high-quality thumbnail based on this video title: \"{{ $('On form submission1').item.json['Video Title'] }}\" Then follow this process:\n\n** Analyze & Remix the Style **\n\n- Treat the visual style template as the base structure.\n- Blend this with the video title, creator image, and emotional tone from the original design.\n- Maintain consistency with the creator\u2019s personality and image tone (e.g., face angle, expression, clothing, colors).\n\n** Build a Prompt for Thumbnail Generation **\n\n- Highlight the video title (use: {{ $('On form submission1').item.json['Video Title'] }} as placeholder).\n- Integrate the creator image naturally and prominently (use: {{ $('Thumbnails').first().json['Thumbnails Description'] }} as placeholder).\n- Maintain the visual and emotional tone of the template (use: {{ $('Characters').item.json['Images Description'] }} as reference).\n- Add 3D generated icon element for the tool mentioned in {{ $('On form submission1').item.json['Video Title'] }} next to the text.\n\nFor Example:\n1.\ntitle: NEW Deepseek Update!\nresult: Add deepseek icon\n\n2.\ntitle: n8n Workflow\nresult: Add n8n icon\n\nIf there is no tool name in the title, don't create it\nEnsure the final result communicates clarity, trust, and visual impact.\n\n** Output Rules **\n\n- Only output 2 thumbnail generation prompts. Don't provide more output items\n- Do not explain the steps or the process.\n- Use placeholders like {{ $('On form submission1').item.json['Video Title'] }} so it works across workflows.\n- Keep the formatting plain (no markdown, no styling).\n- Never mention product names or actual user data \u2014 just use placeholders.\n- Do not return multiple versions \u2014 generate only one distinct prompt per request.\n- don't include \"prompt1\" or \"prompt2\"\n\n** Sample Use Case **\nYou are given:\n\n- {{ $('Characters').item.json['Images Description'] }} as visual style input\n- {{ $('Thumbnails').first().json['Thumbnails Description'] }} as transparent hero image\n- {{ $('On form submission1').item.json['Video Title'] }} as the main title to feature\n\nYour task is to return two static thumbnail prompt that blends these elements into a unique but consistent, scroll-stopping thumbnail design."

How this works
Create eye-catching YouTube thumbnails effortlessly with this workflow, saving hours of manual design work and boosting your video's click-through rates. It analyses your video title and description to suggest optimal text placement and colours, then generates a custom image using AI, ensuring professional results tailored to your content. Ideal for content creators, marketers, and YouTubers who lack design skills but want high-quality visuals; the key step involves OpenAI analysing elements before an HTTP request creates the image, with Google Sheets logging outputs for easy tracking.
Use this workflow when producing regular videos and needing quick, consistent thumbnails without hiring a designer—it's perfect for channels with 10+ uploads monthly. Avoid it for highly custom artistic needs, like intricate illustrations, where manual tools such as Canva might suit better; opt out if your videos require brand-specific assets not easily prompted via AI. Common variations include adding a step to upload directly to YouTube or integrating with your CMS for automated posting.
