Style

Productivity Friendly thumbnail style

Direct-gaze friendly authority on a soft pastel backdrop, single concept icon.

What this style looks like

When you pick the Productivity Friendly style in Thumby, the AI agent assembles every render around these visual rules — the same prompt scaffolding our system uses to build a CTR-tuned thumbnail in roughly 60 seconds:

casual photograph of a person at a desk or in a clean room, friendly half-smile, warm direct gaze at viewer

Color, lighting, and mood

soft pastel background (sage, lavender, peach), even diffused lighting, calm muted palette

Composition rules

On top of the look itself, every render in this style follows these layout principles — tuned to keep the thumbnail readable at mobile-feed size and to maximise CTR on YouTube’s 2026 algorithm:

subject left of frame, single clean concept icon or laptop screenshot beside them, lots of breathing room

Who this style is for

Pick the Productivity Friendlystyle when your video lives in the niche this look was tuned for. Most users pair it with a one-line topic — the AI agent writes the full prompt, applies the style on top, and ships a 16:9 thumbnail you can download or upscale to 2K / 4K straight away. If you’ve got a face or product photo to anchor the render, drop it in as a reference and the style renders your subject in the look above instead of a generic stock figure.
