How to create AI images in ActiveCampaign
Introduction
The AI images feature in ActiveCampaign enables users to generate custom images tailored to their campaign needs. This functionality allows marketers to enhance their visual content without the need for design expertise. AI-generated images can significantly impact engagement by providing fresh and relevant visuals that resonate with the audience. Understanding how to effectively use this feature can streamline your marketing process and elevate your campaigns.
This feature is available in specific pricing plans, giving users access to various capabilities depending on their subscription level. It's essential for users to be aware of image generation limits based on their chosen plan—these limits encourage effective usage while allowing for creativity in image selection.

Option 2: From the Email Designer
1. Open the direct or automated campaign you wish to modify. 2. Navigate to the Email Designer. 3. Drag the Image block into your campaign layout. 4. Click the Image block, which will open the Campaign Manager modal.
How to create an AI image in the Content Manager
Follow these steps to successfully generate an AI image:
1. Within the Content Manager, click the Generate image button. 2. In the Generate a new image modal, type a detailed prompt that describes your desired image. Include specifics like subjects, colors, themes, and patterns. The more comprehensive your description, the better the AI can generate an image that meets your expectations. 3. Choose your preferred image style (e.g., Cinematic, Digital Art) from the dropdown menu located at the bottom right. 4. Click the Generate an image button to initiate the image creation process. 5. If you are not satisfied with the AI-generated image, select the Retry with a new prompt option and repeat steps 3-5 until you are happy with the outcome. 6. Once satisfied with the AI image, click the Save this image button. 7. Your AI image(s) will be saved in your Content Manager under the AI Generated folder. 8. After saving, you can continue to edit the image within your campaigns.
