Manage article images

Click an image in the article to open Image settings. Review the actual image alongside its idea heading before changing its text or replacing it.

​

Alt text and captions

Alt text describes what the image shows. Write it yourself, choose Write it for me, or Write it again for a new suggestion. The SEO panel can also Write the missing alt text for images that need it. Review generated alt text for accuracy. It should explain the image rather than repeat a string of keywords. Caption is the visible text below the image. Use it for useful context; it serves a different purpose from alt text.

​

Featured image

Choose Featured image → Use this to make the selected image the article’s main preview image. The panel shows This one when it is already selected. Missing images cannot be used as the featured image.

​

Upload your own

Use Upload your own to replace the selected image with JPG, PNG or WebP. You can also insert a new image through the article’s block controls. Check the alt text, caption and featured image after replacement because the old descriptions may no longer match.

​

Make a new generated image

For eligible generated images, New image · 2 credits makes another version. A missing generated image instead offers Make image. Uploaded images without a generation option can be replaced with your own files. The previous image remains under Earlier versions. Click an earlier thumbnail to use it again, then check the saved state. Restoring a previous version does not require another generation request.

​

Missing images

The editor identifies images that did not come out. Make or upload replacements before sending to WordPress; the publishing panel blocks sending while placeholder images remain. Review a partial article even if most images look complete. See generation costs.
