Step-by-Step Guide to Using Pixels

1. Choose Your Creation Method

Pikzels offers two ways to generate thumbnails:

• Prompt-to-Thumbnail: Submit a text description of your desired thumbnail.

• Recreate: Paste a YouTube link, and Pixels will generate a thumbnail inspired by the original.

2. Using the Prompt-to-Thumbnail Feature

• Research Video Topics: Identify trending topics and styles used by successful creators.

• Write a Clear Prompt: Example: "Me swimming underwater, looking scared into the camera, while a shark is behind me."

• Generate the Thumbnail: Click “Generate” and let Pixels do the work.

• Redo if Needed: If the initial result isn’t perfect, use the redo feature for refinements.

3. Adding Text

• Include bold and vibrant text to make your thumbnails even more engaging.

• Example: Add "Shark Diving" in bright yellow text using the prompt: "Add the text 'Shark Diving' in a bold yellow font at the top."

4. Enhancing with Edits

• Use the edit feature to refine elements, such as changing emotions or adjusting colors.

• Example: "Make the person happy instead of scared. Keep the rest the same."

5. Using the Recreate Feature

• Find a high-performing video with a thumbnail you admire.

• Copy the video link, paste it into Pixels, and choose your inspiration level (Low, Medium, or High).

• Generate a thumbnail that takes inspiration from the original while staying unique.
