Generate a Featured Image for a Blog Post

Generate a new header/featured image for a specific blog post from a text brief and optional reference images, then save it to the store's file library.

📋 Prompt
Run in Sidekick
Generate a new featured/header image for my blog post titled [BLOG_POST_TITLE] (currently [DRAFT/PUBLISHED] in the [BLOG_HANDLE, e.g. “News”] blog). The post is about: [ONE_SENTENCE_TOPIC_SUMMARY].

Creative brief:

  Visual concept: [e.g. “a top-down flat lay of the ingredients mentioned in the post” or “an editorial-style photo representing the topic”]
  Mood/style: [e.g. “clean and editorial” or “warm and lifestyle”]
  Aspect ratio: [e.g. “16:9, standard blog header size”]
  Text-safe space: leave the [TOP/BOTTOM] area clear in case I add a title overlay later
  Color palette: [PRIMARY_HEX], [SECONDARY_HEX] to match our brand


Guide the generation with up to 3 reference images if useful (each under 5MB, JPEG/PNG/WebP): [REFERENCE_IMAGE_1, e.g. our logo], [REFERENCE_IMAGE_2, e.g. a related product photo], [REFERENCE_IMAGE_3, e.g. a past blog header to match style].

Generate 2-3 options so I can compare compositions before choosing.

Show me each version for review – don’t save anything without my approval. Once I pick one, save it to the store’s file library, ready for me to set as the featured image on this blog post. Don’t touch or replace any image already on the post.
