Set the featured and OG images
Your featured image is shown in post lists and cards. Your OG image is what
appears when the post is shared on social media. Both are set the same way,
from the post editor's right-hand panel.
Each row offers three ways to get an image.
Auto generate
This is the quickest option and it is free on every plan.
Superblog finds a photo based on your post title and lays your logo, your post
title and your domain over it in five different layouts, using your site's own
brand colour. Pick the one you like and press Use this image.
Change background image searches for a different photo. Type anything and
the templates redraw instantly.
Upload your own uses your photo instead of a stock one. It still goes
through the same templates, so your own product shot gets the same branding.
If you want the photo on its own with nothing over it, that is the last option
in the grid.
These images are composed in your own browser, which is why they cost nothing
and why switching between layouts is instant.
Generate with AI
Available on the BUSINESS plan, and each image costs one credit. Creates an original image rather than choosing
an existing photo.
You do not need to write a prompt. The box is filled in from your post title,
and you can edit it to describe what the post is about. Superblog works out a
scene worth drawing and handles the composition, the lighting and the palette.
Pick a style: Photo, Illustration or Abstract. Your choice is remembered for
next time.
Press Generate AI image, look at the result, then press Use this image
if you are happy with it. Generate a different one makes another.
Generating the same description twice is free: you get the image you already
paid for. Only a genuinely different image costs another credit.
Why your title is not on the AI image
AI image models render text as convincing gibberish, so generated images are
deliberately kept clear of any lettering. If you want your title on the image,
use Auto generate, which puts it there properly as real text.
Upload
Drag an image onto the row or press Browse.
For the OG image, anything that is not already 1200x630 opens a cropper set to
that shape, so you choose which part of the photo is used rather than being
turned away.
Files up to 4 MB are accepted. Superblog stores your original exactly as you
upload it and does not shrink it for you, so anything larger has to be
compressed first.
Alt text
When you insert an image into a post, the alt text box has a Describe with AI button. It reads the picture and writes a sentence describing what is
visible, in a form a screen reader can read aloud. You can edit it afterwards.
Alt text costs half a credit. See Superblog credits.
If you set neither
- With no featured image, the post uses its first image, or a generated card if it has none.
- With no OG image, social networks are given the featured image.
