Step 2: Select Your Trained Face AI Model

Before generating, make sure you have trained your face model.

If not:

Complete training

Once your face model is ready:

Why Recreating Thumbnail Styles Improves CTR

YouTube click-through rate depends heavily on thumbnail performance. When you recreate proven styles instead of designing randomly, you benefit from:

Established visual psychology
Proven layout patterns
Strong emotional triggers
Brand consistency

By combining those elements with your own face, you increase recognizability and trust. Over time, this can improve YouTube thumbnail CTR and overall channel growth.

Best Practices for Better Results

To maximize quality:

Choose clear, high-resolution reference thumbnails
Pick styles that match your niche
Use expressive face training images
Keep text short and bold

Test multiple variations and compare CTR performance inside YouTube Studio. Optimization is a process.
