3D Thumbnail Optimization: Click-Through Secrets
Thumbnails drive clicks. Focus on composition, lighting, and scale cues. Use a neutral backdrop, add a subtle shadow, and include a recognizable object (coin, caliper, mini) for scale. Maintain consistent framing across your catalog so users can scan quickly.
Checklist
- High-contrast subject against a clean background
- Readable at 120–160px: test on mobile first
- One hero angle + optional secondary detail shot
- Consistent brand framing; avoid heavy borders/text
