AI Image Generation
Automatically generate a cover image plus contextual inline images for your articles.
AI Image Generation
ReachSurge generates images for your content with Google's Imagen models: a cover image on every quality-passing article and video conversion, plus a few contextual inline images inside each article so the body is not a wall of text.
What gets generated
- Cover image (1200×630): the hero image, used as the OG / Twitter card and the canonical image in the article's JSON-LD schema.
- Inline images (800×450): a few contextual illustrations placed at section breaks inside the article body. The count scales with article length (roughly one per 400 words) and is capped by your plan (see below). Articles only, not video conversions.
Inline images match the cover's editorial style so the set reads as one art direction, and each is added to the article's schema image list.
How many inline images
The count is automatic: it scales with length and is capped by your plan tier.
| Plan | Inline cap | Total with cover |
|---|---|---|
| Demo / Free | 0 | 1 |
| Starter | 2 | up to 3 |
| Growth | 3 | up to 4 |
| Enterprise | 4 | up to 5 |
A short article gets fewer than the cap (length scaling), and a listicle or standard article both qualify. FAQ pages get the cover only.
Turning inline images off
Inline images are on by default. To produce text-only articles for a site (the cover is still generated), turn off Inline images in articles under Settings, then Author, for that website. This only affects newly generated articles; existing published articles are unchanged.
How it works
- Articles: when an article passes the quality gate, the cover and the inline images are generated together, then the images are woven into the body before the page is saved. Drafts that fail the quality gate skip images entirely.
- Video conversions: every successful conversion gets a cover image (no inline images on the video path).
- Each image is converted to WebP via sharp, uploaded to Supabase Storage with public read access, and referenced from the article. The cover URL is stored on the page in
schema_markup.coverImageUrl.
On-demand generation
There is no way to regenerate images on their own. They are produced as part of article generation. To get different images, regenerate the article.
Plan requirements
Cover images are available on all paid plans and on demo previews. Inline images are capped by plan as shown above, and demo and free accounts get 0 inline (cover only).
FAQ
What format are images in? WebP. The cover is 1200×630 and inline images are 800×450, both optimized for fast loading.
Why did my articles start showing more images? Inline images are on by default. Turn them off per site under Settings, then Author, if you want text-only articles.
Do images affect my page quota? No. Your quota counts pages, not images.
Can I use my own images instead? Not from the dashboard yet. If you publish to your own CMS you can swap images there after publishing.
Why don't drafts get images? A draft has not passed the quality gate, and most never publish. Edit a draft up to publishable quality and regenerate it to get images.
