"My viewer count tripled when I started using professional thumbnails instead of messy desk shots. People actually click through now because my show looks worth watching." @LiveSellerQueen
Built for Whatnot Live Show Hosts
Your Whatnot live show thumbnail is the first thing viewers see. It determines whether they click in or scroll past. Messy desk shots lose to clean, professional thumbnails every time. EditThisPic lets you create attention-grabbing thumbnails from quick phone photos. Show your best items clearly, make them pop, and get more viewers clicking into your shows.

Create Attention-Grabbing Show Thumbnails
-
Upload your show items photo
Drop your thumbnail image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, and WebP up to 7MB. Arrange your best items for the shot. The AI will enhance whatever you photograph, so choose items that represent your show.
Simple cleanup and enhancement: 15-20 seconds. Background replacement: may need 2-3 refinements. -
Describe the thumbnail look you want
Type 'enhance for show thumbnail, make items vibrant and attention-grabbing' or 'replace messy background with clean backdrop, keep items prominent.' Think about what makes viewers click: clear items, vibrant colors, professional look.
For themed shows, mention the theme: 'sports card show thumbnail' or 'vintage comic live sale thumbnail' helps the AI understand the vibe. -
Review at thumbnail size
Check your thumbnail at small size (the way it appears in the Whatnot feed). Are items visible? Do colors pop? Does it look professional and worth clicking? If items are too small or colors are muted, refine.
View at feed thumbnail size first, not full zoom. The thumbnail needs to work at the size viewers will actually see it. -
Refine if needed
If items need more pop or the background needs work, adjust your prompt and regenerate. Most thumbnails work well on the first try if the original photo had good item arrangement.
Keep trying different prompts. The best thumbnails may take 2-3 attempts to get the perfect balance of color, brightness, and clarity.

Common Thumbnail Issues
Items look too small in the thumbnail
Why: Too much background showing or items too spread out. The AI enhanced what was there without recomposing the shot.
Arrange items closer together before photographing. Fill the frame with your best pieces.
Colors are still muted after enhancement
Why: The original photo had very low contrast or was in very dim lighting. The AI can only enhance so much from poor source material.
boost colors and contrast significantly, make items vibrant and eye-catching for small thumbnail viewing
Try photographing in natural daylight for better source colors. Better original = better results.
Background replacement looks unnatural
Why: Complex item edges or items at different depths make clean background replacement difficult.
clean white background, smooth natural edges on all items, professional studio product photo appearance
Simple arrangements on flat surfaces give the cleanest background replacements.
Some items look enhanced but others are dim
Why: The AI may have focused enhancement on the most prominent items, leaving others in shadow.
enhance lighting and colors evenly across ALL items, uniform brightness and vibrancy on every piece
Photograph with even lighting that hits all items equally. Side window light works best.
Thumbnail looks good zoomed in but not at feed size
Why: Detail work that looks great at full size becomes invisible at thumbnail dimensions.
enhance for SMALL thumbnail viewing, bold colors and high contrast, items need to be visible at tiny size
Always check at thumbnail size before finalizing. What looks subtle at full size may disappear in the feed.
Live Show Thumbnail Questions
How do I make my show thumbnail stand out in the Whatnot feed?
Three things: vibrant colors, clean background, and clearly visible items. Use 'enhance for thumbnail, make items vibrant and attention-grabbing' as your prompt. The AI boosts contrast and colors so your thumbnail catches eyes during scrolling. Arrange your best items prominently before photographing.
How quickly can I create a thumbnail before my show?
Most thumbnails are ready in 15-30 seconds. Take a quick photo of your arranged items, upload to EditThisPic, type your enhancement prompt, and download. You can create a professional thumbnail in under a minute, even right before going live.
Should I use white background or themed background for my show?
White backgrounds make items the focus and look clean. Themed backgrounds add personality but can distract from items. For most sellers, white is safest. If your brand identity is strong, experiment with themed backgrounds using 'replace background with themed backdrop.'
How many items should I show in my thumbnail?
Show 3-5 of your best items. Too many items makes them all too small to see at thumbnail size. Too few does not show show variety. Arrange them tightly so they fill the frame. Quality over quantity for thumbnails.
Can I use the same thumbnail template for every show?
You can reuse a clean background style, but vary the items shown. Viewers who see the same thumbnail repeatedly may assume it is a repeat show. Show your actual top items for each show to attract the right buyers.
Does thumbnail quality actually affect viewer counts?
Yes, significantly. Sellers consistently report 2-3x more initial viewers when switching from casual phone photos to professional thumbnails. The feed is competitive and viewers make split-second click decisions based on thumbnail quality.
