Using AI Image Generation in Draftly: Get the Best Results

Stock photos look generic. AI-generated images let you create visuals that are unique to your brand.

When to Use AI Images

• Hero backgrounds (no specific people needed)
• Abstract brand visuals
• Illustration-style feature icons
• Product lifestyle context images
• Background textures

When to Use Real Photos

• Your team, office, or physical products
• Before/after comparisons
• Client testimonials with headshots

Writing Effective Image Prompts

Weak: 'A restaurant'

Strong: 'Warm candlelit Indian restaurant interior, wooden tables, spices displayed on shelves, evening ambience, photorealistic, high quality'

Prompt Formula

`[Subject] + [Setting/Context] + [Mood/Lighting] + [Style] + [Quality modifier]`

Style Keywords That Work Well

• 'Photorealistic, professional photography'
• 'Flat illustration, minimal, clean'
• 'Cinematic, dramatic lighting'
• 'Aerial view, bird's eye'
• 'Soft pastel tones, wellness aesthetic'

Aspect Ratio Tips

• Hero sections: 16:9 landscape
• Square feature cards: 1:1
• Mobile hero: 9:16 portrait

Iteration

Generate 3-4 versions of each prompt. Pick the best. Regenerate with small tweaks. Most good AI images take 2-3 iterations.
