About the Beta

The AI Image Generation (Beta) feature is part of Smore’s early-access testing program.

Your feedback helps us improve image quality, speed, and reliability before the full release.

If an image doesn’t generate or looks off, please contact Smore Support.

How to generate an AI image

1. Add a Photo Block

In the newsletter editor, click Add Content and select Photo.

2. Click “Generate with AI”

You’ll see an option labeled Generate with AI. Click it to open the image generator.

3. Type a Short Description

Describe what you’d like the image to show.

Example: Families and students sharing a Thanksgiving meal at school.

4. Choose a Style and Color Palette

Select a style (for example, illustration or realistic) and a color palette (bold, soft, or neutral) to match your newsletter’s theme.

5. Generate Your Images

Click the arrow (→) to generate. Smore will create several image options for you; this may take a few seconds while the AI works.

6. Select and Insert

Choose the image you like best, and it will be added directly to your newsletter.

Tips for Best Results

Keep prompts short and specific (one sentence works best).
Add helpful context (e.g., “students at a science fair” instead of “students”).
If images don’t match your expectations, try adjusting the style or rephrasing your prompt.

Edit, Replace, or Delete

Once your AI-generated image appears in the newsletter, you can:

Edit the image (crop, resize, or add filters) by hovering and clicking Edit.
Replace the image by clicking Generate with AI again to create a new one.
Delete it by clicking the red trash can icon in the top-right corner of the image.
