Each Byword article comes with AI-generated images to complement your content. The latest model (Flux - Oct 2024) delivers high-quality visuals that are uniquely generated for your content.

​
Image style options

Byword offers two distinct image styles to match your content needs:
  • Illustrative: Creates digital artwork and illustrations with clean lines and abstract elements
  • Photographic: Generates more realistic, photo-like images
Illustrative images work well for:
  • Abstract concepts
  • Technical topics
  • Brand-focused content
  • Modern, clean aesthetics
You can switch between these image styles in your account Settings page.

​
Customization options

​
File format

Choose between two file formats for your images:
  • .jpg (default): Smaller file sizes (better for SEO), with compression options
  • .png: Higher quality but larger file sizes
When using .jpg format, you can further customize:
PNG files provide the best quality but can approach 1MB in size, which may impact page load speed.

​
Aspect ratio

Byword offers both landscape and portrait aspect ratios:
  • Square: 1:1
  • Landscape options: 16:9, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4
  • Portrait options: 9:16, 2:3, 3:4, 4:5
For portrait orientation (vertical images), the dimensions are flipped from their landscape counterparts.

​
Color scheme

Customize the colors in your generated images by specifying a color scheme in the settings:

​
Images per article

Control how many images appear in your content:
  • 1 (default): Header image only
  • 2-4: Header image plus additional inline images throughout the article
All inline images use the same aspect ratio as your header image. They’re automatically positioned at logical breaks in your content.

​
Technical details

​
Image styling

Images are styled with inline CSS using:
  • width: 100%
  • max-width: 600px
This ensures they align with your text width up to a maximum of 600 pixels.

​
Integration support

Images are automatically uploaded to your media library and set as the featured image for the article.

​
Retrieving images

For HTML exports (both clipboard copies and CSV exports), images are not embedded directly. Instead:
  • In the single article generator, right-click to copy or save the image
  • In CSV exports, you’ll receive links to the images
All images are generated by Byword’s custom AI model, meaning:
  • You don’t need to worry about copyright or royalties
  • Each image is unique to your article
  • You won’t find these images elsewhere online
