Turn a video idea into a clear visual hook. Explore compositions, headline treatments, and thumbnail variations with MiniMax Code, then review them at feed size before publishing.
Choose an example or describe your task, then continue in MiniMax Code.
Sample prompts
Explore four original thumbnail concepts. These AI-generated illustrations are design examples, not published videos or evidence of higher click-through rates.
Keep the subject, audience, and viewing context connected from the first brief to the final cover.
Video Brief
Tell the AI thumbnail generator what the video actually delivers and who should watch it. MiniMax Code can help turn that premise into a focused image brief: one subject, a recognizable action, and a short headline. Keep the promise accurate. A tutorial cover should show what viewers will learn, while a review should not imply a verdict the video never makes.

Creative Variations
Try a product close-up, an environmental scene, or a graphic treatment while keeping the video topic fixed. Ask for specific revisions to subject scale, negative space, contrast, and headline placement. Comparing meaningfully different directions is more useful than collecting many nearly identical covers. Generated lettering and details still need inspection.

Feed Readiness
Review the chosen cover at its expected feed size, not only full screen. Make sure the subject is recognizable, the words are legible, and the duration badge will not cover critical content. Match the thumbnail to the title without repeating every word. Resize or refine the final file in your chosen workflow and check the publishing platform requirements.
