= How to Create AI Images in ActiveCampaign =

== Introduction ==
The '''AI images''' feature in ActiveCampaign allows users to generate unique images using artificial intelligence. This innovative tool is integrated within the '''Content Manager''' and works exclusively with the '''Email Designer'''. It empowers marketers and content creators to design eye-catching visuals tailored to their specific needs, enhancing their email campaigns. By using AI to create images, users can save time and enrich their content offerings, making their emails more engaging for recipients.

This feature is available for the following plan types:
* '''Plus''': 20 images per month
* '''Professional''': 50 images per month
* '''Enterprise''': 100 images per month

It is important to note that this feature cannot be used with the Classic Email Designer, and users will need to make use of the standard Email Designer to access the AI image capabilities.
