Your Prompt

Why Use This Tool?

A high‑CTR (click‑through rate) thumbnail is often the difference between a video that goes viral and one that gets ignored. This tool turns your raw topic into an AI‑ready image description that you can paste directly into Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion or any AI image generator. You’ll get creative, emotionally engaging prompts packed with composition details, lighting, colours and expressions – all optimised to make viewers click.

Perfect for: YouTubers, video editors, bloggers who use custom thumbnails, content creators, and anyone who wants professional thumbnails without hiring a designer.

How to Use It (Step by Step)

1. Enter your topic – Type a video title, keyword or a short description into the text box. You can also click the 💡 Example button to see a sample.
2. Click “Generate Prompt” – Our AI will analyse your input and craft a detailed thumbnail image prompt.
3. Copy the result – Once the prompt appears, click Copy Prompt (it will turn green and show “Copied!” for a moment).
4. Paste into an AI image generator – Open your favourite tool (Midjourney, DALL·E, etc.), paste the prompt and generate a stunning thumbnail.
5. Optional: Regenerate – Didn’t like the first result? Click Regenerate to get a fresh variation with the same input.

Troubleshooting & FAQ

Why do I see an error or “Could not generate prompt”?

This usually happens if the API endpoint is temporarily unreachable or your internet connection drops. Please check your connection and try again. If the problem persists, the backend service might be restarting – wait a minute and retry.

The generated prompt looks like it contains **bold** text – is that normal?

Yes! The AI sometimes uses Markdown formatting. Our tool automatically converts `**bold**` into proper HTML bold, so it’s displayed beautifully. If you copy it, the plain text will keep the `**` markers – that’s fine for most AI image generators.

How can I get a different style of prompt?

Simply click Regenerate – the AI will create a new variation using the same input. You can also slightly rephrase your original topic for completely different ideas.

Is there a word limit?

We recommend keeping your input under 500 characters to get the best results. The textarea shows a live character count to help you.

Can I use this prompt with any image AI?

Absolutely. The prompts are written in natural English and work perfectly with Midjourney, DALL·E 3, Stable Diffusion, Leonardo AI, etc.
