Gemini Pro is dirt cheap.

And with about 10 minutes of effort watching this video, you too can get thumbnails that are not great, but usable.

And CTR is the fastest way to grow a YouTube channel, click-through rate.

And so getting thumbnails better than bad is really important.

These are B minus B at best level thumbnails, and they're good enough.

All right, so next what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give it the prompt, YouTube thumbnail with text, thumbnail tutorial, Gemini, and we're gonna find a photo of me and load it in here and make it happen.

So let's just do the same image we used last time, see how it comes out.

Now the bottom right here, this is a step that is frustrating.

I wish it would default to pro because I don't ever want it fast.

Make sure that you have create images banana selected as well, and then hit submit.

And then I'm expecting this one to be correctly sized based on using the past instructions that we saved.

And then it should have some creative element to it based on those instructions as well.

But it may not give it a good enough element.

Maybe it doesn't show Gemini banana in the background, and we may give it some further instructions.

But I would say this one's probably the best one we've seen yet.

And they even throw in the Gemini logo right there.

So

Really easy to read text was very important in my instructions.

It kept trying to make these really, really big.

So one of the instructions that I believe I hit save on was to make it under two megabytes.
