About this prompt

The frame is 16:9 (wide), and our original measures 1376 × 768 pixels. That shape is an exact fit for YouTube thumbnails, X posts and desktop wallpapers; LinkedIn posts and Facebook posts take it with a small crop. It was made with thumbnails in mind.

Mood: Powerful, wild
Use case: Thumbnails

Made for:YouTube Thumbnails

Make this prompt your own

Subject: The opening words, “A huge fork of lightning striking the sea from dark storm clouds at night”, are the subject. Swap in your own subject and keep the rest to get a new picture in the same look.
Light: The words “at night” set the light. Swap them for “soft daylight” or “bright daylight” to change the time of day and the feel.
Rules: The last words, “No text”, stop the tool from writing on the picture. That leaves clean space for your own title.

Same theme, another look

In other light: Desert Sand Ripples (low sunlight), Tiger at the Stream (soft forest light) and Lotus Pond (morning light).

In another style: Misty Tea Gardens (landscape photo), Western Ghats Mist (landscape) and Dew on a Web (macro).
