Image Style

Every featured image WP-AutoInsight generates starts from a prompt built from your keywords and category. Since 4.5 that prompt ends with a style clause you control, plus a fixed instruction to avoid text, watermarks, and logos.

Choosing a style

1. Go to WP-AutoInsight → Media → Images.
2. Under Image Style, pick a preset or Custom….
3. Save Image Settings.

The presets:

Preset	Good for
Editorial photography (default)	Realistic, magazine-style photos. Works for most blogs.
Flat illustration	Clean vector-like graphics; friendly for SaaS and how-to content.
3D render	Product-like objects and abstract scenes with depth.
Minimalist line art	Sparse, monochrome drawings that stay readable at thumbnail size.
Watercolor	Soft, painterly images for lifestyle, travel, and food.
Cinematic	Dramatic lighting and composition, film-still feel.
Custom…	Type your own description, up to 200 characters.

Custom descriptions

When you choose Custom…, a text field appears. Describe the look in plain words — for example vintage travel poster, muted palette or isometric pixel art, pastel colors. The text is appended verbatim as Style: …, so keep it about look, not subject.

If the custom field is left blank the plugin uses the default preset, so a half-finished setting never produces an odd prompt. Switching back to a preset keeps your custom text saved for later.

What the prompt looks like

For the keywords acids, bases in the Chemistry category with the default style:

acids, bases. Related to: Chemistry. Style: editorial photography. Clean composition, natural lighting, no text, no watermarks, no logos.

Note

Why “no text, no logos”? Image models render letters and brand marks badly — garbled words and near-miss logos are the most common reason a generated featured image is unusable. The constraint is always on; the style clause is what you control.

Where it applies

The style applies to featured images generated for new posts and to the Retry button on the post edit screen. Infographics have their own description prompt and are not affected.

Alt text is unchanged: it is built from the post title and primary keyword, so it never depends on the style.
