STEP 3: ADD CHAPTER THUMBNAIL

"In INKR Comics, the chapter thumbnail lets readers see a quick snapshot of a chapter as they’re viewing the chapter list. Having thumbnails reinforces your title’s visual quality, showcases the artworks, and builds reader anticipation."

• The chapter thumbnail is optional visual assets, meaning that you don’t have to set them in order to publish your chapters.

• You can choose a thumbnail from the options INKR CMS automatically generates, or upload your own.

• It should be close to character’s face.

• The character must be placed in the center.

• Character’s expressions clearly. 

• No more than two characters in one thumbnail. 

• DO NOT spoil. 

• Contains no title name/chapter number/speech bubbles to ensure key visual elements are visible to readers on a small scale.

• Reflect the original art style of title: Avoid using images with exaggerated drawing styles as chapter thumbnails, because they are not representative of the general art style and can be misleading for readers.

• Exclude images from other chapters, such as images from a recap or what’s-next pages, because they can be confusing for readers to navigate.

• Image must be taken from the chapter it represents, with permission from content owners.

• Consistently use all colored images or all black & white images. Except for special cases, all chapter thumbnails should have a consistent coloring style (either B&W or colored).

Step 3: Save and Close.
