Image Generation │ Rankfender Docs

Every article gets a featured image right after it is saved: the stage "Generating featured image" in the Writer. How it looks is set in Content › Settings › "Image & Visuals" and applies to every new image of the project.

Image settings

Setting	Options
Image Style	Corporate, Watercolor, Cinematic, Illustration or Sketch.
Brand Colors Enforcement	Off (natural scene colours), Subtle, Balanced (Recommended) or Dominant. The colours come from your Brand Book's visual identity.
Resolution	1024 × 576 (blog banner, 16:9), 1024 × 1024 (square), 1200 × 628 (social OG card), 1408 × 768 (wide landscape), 1920 × 1080 (Full HD) or 768 × 1024 (portrait, 3:4).
Title-Based Featured Image	Puts the article title into the image prompt, for a cover that matches the topic.
Brand Logo Overlay	BETA. Places your Brand Book logo on every featured image, at Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Left or Bottom Right.
Inline Images Professional and up	Adds images inside the article body: 1, 2 or 3, or "Let AI choose" (currently one image). On Essential the switch shows "Available on Pro and above".

"YouTube Video" and "Call-to-Action" are listed as "Coming soon".

Make a new image

In the Library, the image icon on a draft reads Generate Image (no image yet) or Regenerate Image.
In the Writer, the image in the preview has a regenerate button.

A new image uses the settings in force at that moment, so change the style first, then regenerate.

Images and publishing

Publish stays disabled until the article has a featured image; while one is being made, publishing waits ("Image generation in progress").
The WordPress plugin downloads the featured image into your media library and sets it as the post's featured image. Inline images are copied into the media library too (a plugin option, on by default).
The Modern Web webhook sends the image URL in featured_image.

Note

If the image fails, the article is still saved as a draft. Make the image from the Library, then publish. See Publishing and autopilot.
