How Many Images Do You Need for a Product Hunt Launch?

Question

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, 𝟯 𝘁𝗼 𝟰 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 are good enough:

𝟭.𝗠𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲: A clean, bold overview with a strong CTA.
𝟮.𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼: Show how it works in a simple visual.
𝟯.𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: Showcase 2-3 standout features.

𝟰.𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹: Add user testimonials or benefits if you have space, but keep it simple.

As I know, the most important features should be three, and additionally, we can prepare 2 to 3 less critical UI introductions.

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.

For Sweego we have 4 image and 1 video. We're launching today, so maybe I can tell tomorrow if it worked :)

@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)

Hi,Hamza~
I think you're right. But sometimes a single piece can make a big difference. Last week, I saw a product that cut a flowchart into several pieces and advertised it on the splash page. It caught my eye
