AI Image Generation

Generate professional, custom images using AI. No complex prompts needed—choose a style, describe your subject, and generate.

Accessing AI Image Generation

1. Click AI in the left sidebar (the AI button is highlighted in blue)
2. The AI Generator panel opens on the right side of the canvas
3. Follow the 3-step wizard to generate your image

How It Works

The AI Image Generator uses a simple 3-step process:

1. Choose Style - Select a visual style preset
2. Describe Subject - Tell the AI what you want in the image
3. Generate - Choose aspect ratio and generate

Step 1: Choose Style

Style presets automatically use your brand colors:

• Photorealistic - Looks like a real photo
• Illustration - Drawn or illustrated style
• Artistic - Creative and expressive
• 3D - 3D rendered graphics

1. Browse the style preset cards in a 2x2 grid
2. Each preset shows an icon, name, and description
3. Click a style card to select it
4. The selected card highlights with a blue border
5. The wizard automatically advances to the next step after selection

ℹ️ Note

Style presets automatically adapt to your brand kit colors. If you have a brand kit set up, the AI uses those colors in generated images.

Step 2: Describe Subject

After choosing a style, describe what you want:

1. Type a brief description in the text field
2. Be specific about the subject, setting, or mood
3. Examples:
   • “A sunset over mountains”
   • “A modern office workspace”
   • “A cup of coffee on a wooden table”
   • “Abstract geometric patterns”

💡 Tip

Keep descriptions concise but specific. Clear, focused descriptions work better than long, complex prompts.

Step 3: Generate

Before generating, choose your aspect ratio:

• 1:1 (Square) - Perfect for Instagram posts
• 9:16 (Portrait) - Great for Instagram Stories and mobile content
• 16:9 (Landscape) - Ideal for YouTube thumbnails and wide formats
• 4:3 (Classic) - Traditional photo format

1. Select your desired aspect ratio
2. Review the summary showing your style and subject
3. Click Generate Image
4. Wait for generation (usually 10-30 seconds)

Brand Customization

The AI Generator integrates with your brand kit:

• Use Brand Colors - Toggle to automatically use your brand colors
• Select Brand Kit - Choose which brand kit to use (if you have multiple)
• Custom Colors - Optionally override with custom colors

Brand colors automatically apply to style presets, ensuring generated images match your brand identity.

Viewing Generated Images

Once generation completes:

1. The generated image appears in the panel
2. Preview the image before adding it
3. Click Insert to Canvas to add it to your design
4. The image automatically sizes to fill your canvas

Generating Another Image

Generate a new image:

1. Click Generate Another or Reset
2. Start over from Step 1 (Style selection)
3. Or modify your subject description and generate again
