AI Images & Templates

Stock photos scream stock. One-line prompts produce beautiful pictures of the wrong thing. The workbench in Create → AI image is built around the two inputs that fix both: your actual product, and a consistent style you can reuse.

Generate mode

The core loop: describe the shot, attach references, generate.

• Prompt — describe the product or scene you want.
• Aspect ratio — square 1:1, portrait 3:4 / 4:5 / 2:3, story 9:16, landscape 4:3, widescreen 16:9, or custom.
• Reference slots — two labeled slots that do different jobs:
  • Product — a photo of your product. This keeps the subject yours: same bottle, same device, same packaging.
  • Style ref — an image whose look you want: lighting, palette, mood. Attach any image, or pick one from the template library.
• Model — Nano Banana 2 (fast) or Nano Banana Pro (highest quality).

Advanced controls

The advanced sidebar turns "prompt luck" into decisions:

• Lighting: softbox studio, natural window, golden hour, chiaroscuro, bright contrast.
• Background: pure white, gradient gray, black velvet, wood, marble, lifestyle.
• Angle: eye-level, overhead, 15° hero, 3/4 view, macro.
• Mood: warm nostalgic, cool minimal, luxurious, cheerful, editorial.

Below those, a structured prompt builder (scene, composition, material notes, color grading, text on packaging, subject details, palette, extra notes, and an "avoid" negative prompt) — plus View final prompt to see and copy exactly what will be sent.

Results

Generated images keep their aspect ratio, open in a fullscreen zoomable lightbox, and can be downloaded or deleted. They accumulate in a History rail per brand. An image already placed in an article can't be deleted — the article protects it.

Template Library

A template is a saved visual style: a curated reference image with its prompt, aspect ratio, and tags. The library ships with built-in styles across four categories — Studio, Lifestyle, Editorial, Seasonal (pure white hero, linen morning flatlay, black velvet luxury, golden hour outdoor, cozy wood café, and more) — and grows with your own uploads.

Three ways to use a template:

• Use as reference — load it into the style ref slot and generate.
• Copy for chat — copies a ready-made instruction naming the template, to paste into Chat when you want the agent to generate images mid-task.
• Automatic illustration styling — when the Article Studio reaches its Illustrations stage, the agent picks styles from this same library, which is how a brand's articles end up visually consistent without anyone enforcing it.

The point of templates: decide your visual language once. Every image after that starts from the decision instead of from zero.

Cost

Image generation is a paid feature and costs 30 credits (about $0.30) per image. See Credits & Metering.

Getting good results

• Always fill the Product slot for product shots. Prompt-only product images drift.
• Pick one or two templates as your brand look and stop exploring. Consistency beats novelty in feeds.
• Use the refinement axes instead of adjective-stuffing the prompt; "chiaroscuro + black velvet + 15° hero" is a spec, "dramatic moody premium" is a mood board.
