Content Studio — Visuals Studio
Generate branded marketing images for the article — hero images, social graphics, and infographics.
What is it?
The Visuals Studio tab in Content Studio's right panel. After article generation, this tab shows an AI-generated image prompt tailored to the article theme. Click Generate Image and the app calls a Gemini image model, producing a hero-sized visual. You can include the client's logo as an overlay, or switch to Infographic Style for data-heavy visuals.
When should I use it?
- You need a hero image for the article's published page.
- You want social cards (LinkedIn, Facebook) that match the article.
- The client provided no stock imagery and you need something branded quickly.
How to use it
- After generating content, click the Visuals Studio tab in the right panel.
- Review the auto-generated Image Prompt. Edit if you want a specific composition or style.
- Tick Include brand logo to overlay the client's logo (requires brand book setup).
- Tick Infographic Style if you want a data-driven visual instead of a photographic one.
- Click Generate Image. Wait ~10–20 s. The image appears below.
- Download to get the PNG, or use it elsewhere via the provided URL.
Tips and best practices
- Edit the image prompt to describe camera angle, mood, and avoidance ("no stock photo look"). Small tweaks yield big quality jumps.
- Logos work best on images with clear negative space — retry if the prompt produces busy backgrounds.
- For infographics, prefer Napkin (see Napkin infographics) — it's data-chart-specific and produces better results than the generic infographic style.
Gotchas and limits
- Generated images aren't royalty-free stock photos — they're AI-generated. They're safe for client use, but be aware of likeness/brand risks if the prompt specifies people or real brands.
- Image generation uses the Gemini image API — occasional failures happen. Retry if the first attempt fails.
- Brand logo overlay requires the client's Brand Book to have a logo URL. Set it in the client profile.
- Images are stored in Firebase Storage; URLs expire per the storage rules but typically remain accessible for months.
