YouTube thumbnail FAQ

Should I include text in the prompt?

You can request a short title treatment as a design direction, but generated spelling may be wrong. Add the final title separately and proofread it before publishing.

Can I upload a face or product?

This page starts from prompt-based thumbnail concepts. Use the image editor when you want to revise an uploaded face, product, or reference image.
