generate_reference_thumbnail
Generate YouTube thumbnails from a reference image using a standard layout with main text, optional red banner text, topic, and composition style settings.
Instructions
SPECIALIZED tool for YouTube thumbnails using reference images with predefined layouts.
Use this tool specifically for YouTube thumbnails when you want the standard thumbnail layout (person on right, text on left, red banner) with a reference image. For other content types or custom layouts with reference images, use the general generate_image tool instead.
Args: reference_image: Reference image - must be either a file path (e.g., "/path/to/image.jpg") or base64 encoded image data. Claude's "[Image #1]" format is not supported - save the image to a file first. main_text: Main headline text for the thumbnail secondary_text: Optional secondary text for the red banner topic: Topic or subject matter (e.g., 'tech side hustles', 'AWS certification') style_override: Optional style override for different thumbnail types creative_mode: Enable creative freedom vs. consistent branding (default: False) composition_style: Composition approach (centered, left, right, dynamic, creative) layout_freedom: Layout constraints (standard=branding, flexible=some creativity, experimental=full freedom)
