Frequently asked
What's the secret to a clickable food thumbnail?
Top-down or 45° hero shot, one dish dominating the frame, steam or motion if possible, and high color contrast (green herbs on red sauce, golden crust on dark plate).
Should I use AI-generated food images?
Don't. AI food has telltale plastic textures and weird hand artifacts. Real food, even slightly imperfect, converts better and won't tank trust.
How much text should I add?
Less than other niches. The food is the hook; words like 'EASY' or 'BEST EVER' can help but should never overlap the dish itself.
Why do tier-list thumbnails work for food?
Familiar format, clear premise ('I ranked every fast-food fry'), and visual variety — a grid of foods is more interesting than one shot. Use them sparingly so they don't lose novelty.
