For first launches, major updates, relaunches, and teams preparing a community-facing product narrative.
Product Hunt launch graphics that explain the product before the comments do.
Build a gallery that moves from the core promise to real product proof and differentiators. Keep the opening image instantly legible, make later images substantive, and avoid fabricated votes, rankings, or endorsements.
PRODUCT HUNT
Promise, proof, differentiationNo fabricated votes
QUICK ANSWER
Start with the job, then choose the frame.
Treat the Product Hunt gallery as a short product walkthrough. Lead with a clear category and outcome, follow with genuine interface screens, and close with differentiators or use cases—then verify current upload guidance on Product Hunt before launch.
Browse product marketing workflows →Use the sequence to help a visitor understand what the product is, who it helps, and what the real experience looks like before they visit the site.
Make the opening image categorize the product
A clever slogan is not enough if viewers cannot tell whether the product is an app, API, template, or service. Pair the promise with recognizable product evidence.
Use later images to answer objections
Show setup, core workflow, output, integrations, or a differentiating detail. Each gallery image should resolve a question rather than repeat the launch hero with a new background.
Keep community signals out of the artwork
Do not invent badges, votes, rankings, maker quotes, or customer praise. The gallery should stand on truthful product screens and claims the team can support.
Storyboard the Product Hunt gallery
Use the gallery to answer a sequence of visitor questions.
- Write the first five questions a new visitor has about the product and order them by importance.
- Assign one truthful screen, output, or diagram to answer each selected question.
- Design the opening image first, then carry its grid and visual language through the gallery.
- Review the sequence without narration and validate current Product Hunt file guidance before upload.
Product Hunt launch graphics FAQ
What should the first Product Hunt image show?
It should make the product category and primary outcome understandable quickly, ideally with recognizable product evidence rather than only a slogan.
How many gallery images should I create?
Use enough to explain distinct product questions without repeating yourself. Check the current Product Hunt upload limits before finalizing the sequence.
Can I put an award badge or vote count in the artwork?
Only use genuine, current, and authorized signals. Do not fabricate rankings, votes, endorsements, or customer proof.
