How to Generate Social Posts With Images Using AI

How to Generate Social Posts With Images Using AI

Step 1: Set Up the Company Profile for Image Generation

  1. Open the AI Writer inside your account.

  2. Click the Company Profile icon at the top.

  3. Locate the section labeled Image Generation Prompt.

    • You can choose between:

      • Default prompt – produces clean, photorealistic images.

      • Custom prompt – define your own visual style (such as anime, minimalist, abstract, etc.).

    • You can reset to the default prompt at any time.

    • Optionally, you can also change the aspect ratio and other visual properties to match your brand's look and feel.

Step 2: Generate Social Media Post Messages

  1. Inside the Social Media module, choose the type of post you want to generate. In this case, select "Industry Tips."

  2. Enter your industry (e.g., mobile phone chargers).

  3. Choose the number of posts to generate.

  4. The AI Writer will automatically generate a set of messages.

  5. Review the generated posts and select the ones you’d like to move forward with.

Step 3: Generate AI Images for the Posts

  1. Under Optional Refinements, choose the option to Generate Images Now.

  2. The system will begin generating an image for the first post in your list.

  3. You’ll see both the AI-generated image and the post message.

  4. You can approve or reject the image:

    • Click Yes to move on to the next image.

    • Click No to regenerate a different image for the same post.

Optional: Use GPT-4o’s Selective Image Editing Tool

  • Click on the image to open editing options.

  • Use the new Select tool to isolate part of the image.

  • For example, you can select the subject's eyes and type, "make eyes open."

  • Only that selected area will be edited. The rest of the image stays intact.

Step 4: Publish or Schedule Your Posts

  1. Go to the Publisher tab in the AI Writer.

  2. If you're using Safari, drag the AI-generated image directly into the platform.

    • If you're on Chrome, download the image first, then upload it.

  3. Paste the generated message text next to the image.

  4. Add it to your publishing queue or schedule it for later.

Repeat this process for each generated post.

Additional Tips

  • If you're managing multiple clients, consider turning off memory in ChatGPT to avoid crossover between accounts.

  • GPT-4o is highly accurate with image generation. Text in images is reliable and design flaws (like extra fingers) are no longer common.

  • Even the free tier of ChatGPT allows for three image generations per day, making this a useful tool at any budget.

  • To create a full content calendar, simply space out your work across several days or upgrade your account.

Use Cases

  • Quickly generate a full month of social media content.

  • Create branded content packs for clients.

  • Edit generated images precisely without starting from scratch.

  • Reduce reliance on stock photos and expensive design services.
