# AI Image Generator

> Generate an image from a text prompt and drop it straight into a carousel slide or a post.

The **AI Image Generator** turns a text prompt into an image you can use right inside Carousify — no separate tool, no upload step. Describe what you want, generate it, and add it to the slide or post you're working on.

It's the **AI** tab in the image picker — the same picker that has **Upload**, **Search Unsplash**, and **Embedded Link**. So generating an image is just one more way to add one, alongside the options you already use.

## Where to find it

The generator is the **AI** tab inside the image picker. You can open that picker from two places:

| Surface            | How to open it                                                                                                                                                                |
| ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Carousel Maker** | In the editor's **Content** tab, click the image upload zone (*Drag and drop, Paste, or browse to upload*). The **Add Image to Carousel** modal opens — click the **AI** tab. |
| **Post Generator** | In the [Write Post](/post-generator/write-post) editor toolbar, click **Add Image**. The same picker opens — click the **AI** tab.                                            |

## Generate an image

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the AI tab">
    From the Carousel Maker image zone or the Post Generator **Add Image** button, switch to the **AI** tab in the picker.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe the image">
    Type what you want in the **Describe the image you want to generate...** box. Be specific about subject, style, and colour — *minimalist flat illustration of a person climbing a staircase of books, soft blue and white* lands closer than *a success image*.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate">
    Click **Generate Image**. The result appears in the panel below the prompt. Not right? Adjust the prompt and generate again — each run adds to the list so you can compare.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add it">
    Select the image you want and click **Add To Post**. It drops onto the current slide (Carousel Maker) or into the post body (Post Generator), where you can resize and position it like any other image.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Like other AI features, image generation can count toward your plan's usage. See [Plans](/billing/plans) for what your plan includes.
