How to Use AI Image Generator in UniLink (Create Custom Visuals for Your Page)
Generate unique, on-brand images with a text prompt — no design skills required.
Stock photos look generic. Hiring a designer for every asset is expensive and slow. UniLink's AI Image Generator removes both problems by letting you create custom visuals directly inside the platform. Type what you want to see, pick a visual style, and your image is ready in seconds — no external tools, no subscriptions, no design experience needed.
What AI Image Generator Does
The AI Image Generator converts a plain-text description (called a prompt) into a finished image. You describe the subject, mood, and any specific details you want, and the model produces a unique result each time. Because the image is generated — not pulled from a stock library — you're not risking copyright issues, and no one else will have the same visual on their page.
The generator offers three core styles: photorealistic (looks like a high-quality photograph), illustration (painterly or hand-drawn aesthetic), and flat design (clean vector-style graphics ideal for icons and product imagery). Each style suits different content types. A coach might use photorealistic portraits; a digital product creator might prefer flat design icons; a creator selling art prints might love the illustration mode.
Generated images are saved to your UniLink media library automatically. From there you can insert them into any image-compatible block — gallery blocks, banner blocks, product image slots, background fields, and more. You can also download the image file directly to use outside UniLink.
How to Get Started With AI Image Generator
- Open your UniLink Dashboard — Log in and navigate to the page editor for the page you want to update.
- Open the media picker — Click the image slot in any block (banner, gallery, product, etc.) to open the media picker panel.
- Switch to the AI Generate tab — Inside the media picker you'll see tabs for Upload, Library, and AI Generate. Click AI Generate.
- Write your prompt — Describe the image you want in the text field. Be specific: include subject, setting, lighting, and mood. Example: "minimalist flat design coffee cup with steam, warm beige background, pastel colors."
- Choose a style — Select Photorealistic, Illustration, or Flat Design from the style selector below the prompt field.
- Select a resolution — Pick the output resolution that matches where you'll use the image (square 1:1 for product blocks, landscape 16:9 for banners).
- Click Generate — The image renders in a few seconds and appears in the preview. Click Use This Image to insert it, or Regenerate to create a new variation.
How to Use AI Image Generator
- Insert into a gallery block — After generating, click Use This Image. The image is added to your media library and inserted into the selected gallery slot immediately.
- Use as a banner background — Open the banner block settings, click the background image field, then select the AI Generate tab. Generate an image and apply it as the banner background directly.
- Add to a product block — Open a product block, click the product image placeholder, and follow the same AI Generate flow to create a product visual without a photo shoot.
- Regenerate for variations — If the first result isn't right, click Regenerate. The same prompt with the same style produces a different variation each time. Generate several and compare before choosing.
- Refine with prompt edits — If variations still miss the mark, adjust the prompt. Add more detail about lighting, color palette, or composition. Small wording changes often produce dramatically different results.
- Download the image — Click the download icon on any generated image to save it to your device. Use it in other marketing materials, social posts, or presentations.
- Access past generations from your library — All generated images are stored in your UniLink media library under the AI Generated filter. Reuse them across multiple blocks without regenerating.
Key Settings Explained
| Setting | What it controls | Best practice |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt text | The subject, style details, and mood of the image | Be specific — include subject, colors, lighting, and composition in one sentence |
| Style selector | Overall visual treatment: photorealistic, illustration, or flat design | Match to your page aesthetic — flat design for digital products, photorealistic for lifestyle brands |
| Resolution / aspect ratio | Output dimensions and crop ratio of the generated image | Use 16:9 for banners, 1:1 for product and gallery blocks |
| Regenerate button | Creates a new variation using the same prompt and style settings | Generate 3–5 variations before deciding — quality varies between runs |
| Use This Image button | Saves the image to your media library and inserts it into the active block slot | Only click when satisfied — each generation uses a generation credit |
How to Get the Most Out of AI Image Generator
The most effective prompts are specific and visual. Instead of writing "a person working," try "a young woman in a bright home office, morning light through window, laptop open, coffee cup on desk, warm tones." The extra detail gives the model clear direction and produces a more polished result on the first try.
Match your style choice to your audience. Photorealistic images perform well for lifestyle, coaching, and food content because they feel authentic. Flat design works best for tech products, digital downloads, and SaaS because it looks clean and professional at any size. Illustration is a strong choice for creative brands, artists, and anyone who wants a distinct visual identity that doesn't look like a stock photo.
Use the AI Image Generator to build a cohesive visual library for your whole page. Generate all your block images in the same style and with consistent color keywords in the prompt so every image feels like it belongs together. A unified visual language makes pages look more professional and increases the time visitors spend browsing.
Keep your generation credits in mind. Each click of the Generate button uses one credit. Plan your prompts before generating — write a detailed prompt, review it, then generate. If the result is close but not perfect, refine the prompt rather than blindly regenerating. This approach gets you better results faster and uses fewer credits per finished image.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Generation button is grayed out | Monthly generation credits exhausted | Check your plan's credit balance in Account Settings; upgrade if needed or wait for the monthly reset |
| Image looks nothing like the prompt | Prompt is too vague or uses abstract language | Rewrite with concrete visual descriptors — colors, objects, setting, lighting — rather than emotions or concepts |
| Generation takes longer than 30 seconds | High server load during peak hours | Wait and do not close the panel; the request is queued and will complete. Try again in a few minutes if it times out |
| Image appears blurry in a banner block | Generated resolution is lower than the block display size | Select a higher resolution before generating, or use the 16:9 aspect ratio for banner slots |

Frequently Asked Questions
How many images can I generate per month?
The number of generation credits depends on your UniLink plan. Check the AI section of your Account Settings to see your remaining credits and reset date.
Can I use AI-generated images for commercial purposes?
Yes. Images generated inside UniLink are yours to use commercially on your page, in downloads, and in marketing materials. You do not need to credit UniLink or any third-party model.
Where are my generated images stored?
All generated images are saved automatically to your UniLink media library. You can access them anytime from the Library tab in the media picker and reuse them across multiple blocks.
Can I edit a generated image after creating it?
UniLink does not include a post-generation image editor. If you need to crop, adjust colors, or add text, download the image and edit it in an external tool, then re-upload it to your library.
Why does the same prompt give different results each time?
AI image generation includes randomness by design. Each generation samples a different result from the same prompt. This is intentional — it lets you explore variations. Use the Regenerate button to see multiple options before choosing.
