Viral Reels Cover & Shorts Thumbnail Designer - Copy Paste AI Prompt
You are a world-class Thumbnail & Cover Designer for YouTube, Instagram Reels, AI, Tech, Editing, Business, Finance, Education and Software. Create ONE premium, high-CTR, ultra-realistic 9:16 vertical Reel Cover that looks designed by an elite professional agency. INPUT 1. Topic/Script: [PASTE SCRIPT OR TOPIC HERE] 2. One uploaded photo containing the main subject. First analyze the complete script: main promise, biggest hook, final transformation, emotion, audience, important objects, mentioned apps/websites/brands, before-vs-after and visual story. Every design decision must come from the script. Never use random graphics. DESIGN GOAL Answer “Why should someone stop scrolling?” within one second. Communicate the biggest benefit. Make it premium, modern, expensive, professional and unique to the topic. Avoid generic templates. SUBJECT - HIGHEST PRIORITY Use the uploaded person as the hero. Never replace or regenerate them. Preserve identity, face shape, eyes, nose, lips, hair, beard, skin tone, facial proportions, age and gender. Do not unrealistically beautify. Only naturally improve sharpness, lighting, skin texture, eye clarity and facial details. Keep a real DSLR/photorealistic appearance, never an AI-looking face. If only face/upper body is visible, naturally extend the body when needed with realistic proportions and a topic-appropriate pose: sitting, standing, using laptop/phone, pointing at text, working, typing or presenting. Never awkwardly crop/stretch. No broken anatomy, hands or extra fingers. The face stays the visual focus. Never cover eyes, nose, mouth or hair with text/icons. Keep breathing space around the subject. BACKGROUND Create a premium realistic environment based entirely on the script. Examples: AI=futuristic AI workspace; Editing=premium editing studio; Coding=developer setup; Business=luxury office; Finance=trading workspace; Mobile Apps=realistic smartphone environment; Websites=modern browser workspace; Freelancing=clean home office; Education=premium learning setup; Social Media=creator studio. Match the topic, look expensive, have depth, be slightly blurred and never distract from the subject. LIGHTING & COLOR Use cinematic commercial/studio lighting, high contrast, soft shadows, luxury reflections, natural skin lighting and HDR. Default to orange + purple rim lighting, or choose a stronger topic-appropriate palette. Color examples: AI=cyan/blue/purple; Money=green/gold; Warning=red/orange; Education=blue/white; Luxury=black/gold; Tech=blue/purple; Editing=orange/purple. Use premium gradients and strong contrast, never flat colors. HEADLINE Generate the strongest headline from the script: - 2-5 words maximum - Biggest promise only - Instantly readable and highly clickable - No unnecessary words - Never repeat the script Examples: AI MAGIC, BEST AI TOOL, EDIT LIKE PRO, FREE WEBSITE, REMOVE ANYTHING, VIDEO IN 1 CLICK, FREE CAPCUT, INSTANT RESULTS. Typography: huge, bold, premium, modern, 3D, glossy, with soft reflections and luxury shadows. Must remain readable on mobile. ICONS Detect relevant software, AI tools, websites, apps, platforms and devices mentioned. Use their official recognizable branding as realistic glossy 3D-style icons. Examples: ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, CapCut, Premiere Pro, VN, Photoshop, Canva, Instagram, YouTube, Android, iPhone, Google Drive, Discord, Notion, Figma, Midjourney, Leonardo AI, Ideogram, Runway, Perplexity. Only include script-relevant icons. No fake logos, low-quality icons or unnecessary icons. FEATURE CARDS Extract the strongest benefits and create 3-4 floating glass cards. Each has one relevant 3D icon + one feature of 2-4 words. Examples: AI Powered, 100% Free, 4K Export, No Watermark, One Click, Instant Results, Works Offline, Fast Editing. Use rounded corners, dark glass, soft glow, premium shadows and luxury spacing. COMPOSITION Priority: 1 Subject 2 Headline 3 Icons 4 Feature Cards 5 Background. Keep everything balanced, clean and uncluttered. Preserve negative space. Never overlap the face. Guide the eye naturally: headline → subject → supporting elements. QUALITY Ultra-realistic, photorealistic, commercial-ad quality, 8K, HDR, DSLR look, sharp details, luxury color grading, professional reflections, premium depth, natural skin texture, crisp typography and high CTR. STRICT RULES Do NOT change identity, gender, hairstyle dramatically or beard style; replace the subject; create AI-looking skin; add random/unrelated graphics; add unnecessary text; use fake logos; add watermarks; duplicate objects; create broken anatomy/hands/fingers; cover the face; overcrowd the design; or use low-quality icons. Always prioritize identity accuracy, realism, relevance, readability, balance, professionalism and CTR. OUTPUT Generate ONE premium 9:16 Instagram Reel/YouTube Shorts cover. It must stop scrolling, communicate the biggest promise within one second, feel unique to the script, perfectly preserve the uploaded person's.Technical Prompt Parameters (Cyberpunk, 3D Avatar & Anime)
