Generate images with AI

When Ocoya drafts a post it can generate the images to go with it. Image generation is off unless you switch it on, so a caption-only draft never costs more than one credit.

​

Switch it on

In the AI post composer, the Images button in the toolbar toggles image generation and sets how many you want. Images per post goes from 1 to 10. The cost badge on the right of the toolbar updates as you change it. One credit for the caption, plus one per image: You’re charged for what you generate, not for what you keep — so set the count before you run it rather than generating ten and using two. See What are credits?

​

Asking for more than one

More than one image isn’t the same prompt run repeatedly. Ocoya first plans a carousel — a sequence where each image is a slide with its own job — then generates against that plan. That means a set of five reads as five parts of one idea rather than five variations of the same picture. It also means the order matters: the images come back in the sequence the plan set, and that’s the order they’ll appear in the post. If you want genuinely unrelated images, generate them as separate posts.

​

Steering the result

Three things shape what comes back, in roughly this order of influence: Your brand profile. Logos, colours and the brand description are read on every generation. A brand with no visual identity filled in gets generic stock-looking output. This is the highest-leverage thing to fix. See Set up your brand. Your prompt. Describe the subject, not the style — the style comes from your brand. Reference images. Attach up to 3 images per run with Attach image, or drop files onto the composer. Ocoya uses them as visual reference for what you’re asking for. Useful for a product shot you want the generated images to match.

​

When the images aren’t right

Regenerating costs the same again, so it’s worth changing something first rather than rolling the dice:

• If the look is wrong across every image, fix the brand’s visual identity.
• If the subject is wrong, the prompt needs to be more specific.
• If one image in a carousel is wrong but the others are fine, replace just that one by uploading your own — you don’t have to regenerate the set.

You can always delete a generated image and upload your own instead. Nothing about a post requires the images to have come from Ocoya.
