So, you're gearing up for a Product Hunt launch and wondering how many images are enough to get people hooked without overwhelming them?
From my experience, ๐ฏ ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ ๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ are good enough:
๐ญ.๐ ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐บ๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ: A clean, bold overview with a strong CTA.
๐ฎ.๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ฒ๐บ๐ผ: Show how it works in a simple visual.
๐ฏ.๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐น๐ถ๐ด๐ต๐๐: Showcase 2-3 standout features.
๐ฐ.๐ข๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น: Add user testimonials or benefits if you have space, but keep it simple.

For a Product Hunt launch, you typically need 5-8 images, including product screenshots, feature highlights, and promotional banners.

Is video more powerful than image?

@busmark_w_nika yes, but Images have there own attention (like quick attention), to understand what is product all about. In Videos we see how easily we can use/setup it. (if we want to explore further)

@hamza_afzal_butt TBH, when I see video โ I barely look at images. But they are appealing addition to the launch :)

I think your suggestion of 3 - 4 images is quite reasonable. It provides a good balance between showing enough details and not overwhelming the viewers. In my experience, the quality of the images also matters a great deal. High - resolution, visually appealing images tend to attract more attention. And for the optional one, if it's a user testimonial, a photo of the actual user can add more authenticity.

@ldj_beatless yeah agreed images with good visuals work better.
At least 4-5 images:
1๏ธโฃ Intro or promo images
2๏ธโฃ Main page or landing screen
3๏ธโฃ Features and its Elements
4๏ธโฃ Options, Configurations, etc.
5๏ธโฃ Quantification of results, stats, traction, values.

@claire_martin2 happy to help :)
While researching Product Hunt for our own launch, I noticed that most successful launches include 2-4 images and a video that explains the product to potential users.
A great tip for creating the video: use Loom for recording. It lets you add your face to the screen recording while you walk through the product. This adds a personal touch and makes the video feel more human, which is likely to grab more attention.

3 images for simple ideas 3+ & video for complex ideas
Videos can def be more powerful for engagement, but you still need compelling images. I'd say 5-10 high quality product shots + lifestyle photos at minimum. Supplement with short videos for max impact. Quality over quantity!
1 video and 4-6 image.
