Thumbnails & infographics.
Turn a finished article into a branded image prompt that renders your real headline in your real colours. Two credits for the prompt — the picture itself gets drawn in Compose.
Your article is finished and it needs a picture. The Visuals dropdown in the editor's action bar turns the article you just wrote into a branded image prompt — one that renders your actual headline, in your actual colours — and hands it to Compose to be drawn.
The two formats
| Format | Aspect | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Blog thumbnail | 16:9 | The hero image at the top of the post, and the card that shows when someone shares the URL. |
| Infographic | 4:5 | A portrait summary of the article's key points — built to be posted to social, not just to sit in the post. |
The aspect ratio carries through to Compose automatically. You don't set it twice.
What happens when you click
Visuals → Blog thumbnail (or Infographic)
The button shows Generating… while ScoutRival reads your article and writes the design brief. It takes a few seconds.
Graphic Studio opens
A popup with the brief already filled in — the headline, the sub-head, the key points, the layout. Everything is editable.
Create in Compose
You land in Compose in image mode with the finished prompt and the right aspect ratio already loaded. Send it, and you get your image.
What it reads from your article
This is the difference between a stock gradient and something that actually matches the post. The brief is built from real content, not from your keyword alone:
- Your headline — condensed so it fits in an image, and rendered exactly in the artwork.
- Your meta description — becomes the sub-head.
- Your H2 headings — for an infographic, these become the three to five numbered key points.
- The body itself — read for context, so the visual concept matches what the article actually says.
- Your brand kit — palette, fonts and industry, so it comes out in your colours rather than a generic blue.
- Your primary keyword — used as the kicker line on thumbnails.
Each article also seeds its own layout variant, so two posts don't come back as the same composition with different words in it.
The Graphic Studio step
The popup exists so you can fix the brief before you spend anything on rendering. Change the headline, cut a key point, swap the layout, adjust the art direction. When it reads right, hit Create in Compose.
Prompt Studio is the same two-stage builder Compose uses on its own — fill in the brief, pick a layout, then edit the prompt it writes for you. The full Prompt Studio guide →
Finishing in Compose
BlogCraft's job ends at the prompt. The picture itself is drawn in Compose, and whether you get one depends on having an image model connected.
Compose always writes you a brand-aware image prompt. To get an actual rendered image out of it you need an image-capable model connected under AI Models. Without one you get the prompt, ready to paste into whatever image tool you already use. How image mode works →
What it costs
2 credits to generate the visual prompt — the same as any image prompt in Compose, because you're paying for the prompt, not the picture.
- If ScoutRival can't build the AI brief for some reason, you still get a solid templated prompt with your real headline in it, and that one isn't charged.
- Rendering the image in Compose is billed separately by Compose, according to the image model you use.
