Creating viral YouTube thumbnails is crucial for grabbing viewers' attention and increasing video click-through rates. An eye-catching thumbnail can make all the difference in getting your content noticed amidst the sea of videos on YouTube. Influencer Studio offers powerful tools to help you craft thumbnails that not only stand out but also go viral. In this blog post, we will explore techniques and tips on making viral YouTube thumbnails using Influencer Studio.

Step 1: Take a screenshot from your video

Step 2: Upload it inside a workspace using the import file

If you haven't created a workspace yet, you may need to do that as well.

Step 3: Use the natural editing feature to create your viral concept

Step 4: You'll have to prompt the AI a few times, but eventually you'll get something interesting to work with

Step 5: Face swap

A big issue with the AI models is they change facial identity. So we'll use the Face swap function inside Influencer Studio to fix the face back to our model, Emily.

We used the "pure" mode replacing her head to make this swap, which works really well because the two heads were nearly identical in this case.
