the introduction
AI-generated images have become an essential tool for every content creator, covering blog posts, social media covers, client presentations, and e-commerce stores. The beauty is that the process is no longer complicated: you write a prompt, choose a style, click Generate, and you'll get an image that's instantly publishable. In this practical guide, we'll walk you through step-by-step from choosing the right tool to exporting and optimizing for the web, with ready-made prompt recipes, quality improvement tips, and how to avoid common mistakes.
Content
Step 1) Choose a platform that suits you (cloud/mobile/local)
Cloud (Easier for Beginners): Browser-based tools like commercial image generators or cloud studio services. Advantages: Speed, ease, and continuous updates.
Mobile: Generative editing apps that add backgrounds, generate images from text, and enhance faces; great for quick posts.
Local (advanced): Run Stable Diffusion on your machine with interfaces like Automatic1111 or ComfyUI; full control over Steps, Constraints (CFG), Checkpoints, and color filters.
: If you're a beginner, start with a cloud service and then move to on-premises when you want finer control and lower costs in the long run.
Step 2) Understand the elements of a prompt.
Subject: What exactly do you want? (Product, Person, Landscape).
Style: realistic, photographic, cartoonish, expressionist…
Lighting and Lens: Soft/Dramatic Lighting, Depth of Field, 35mm or Macro.
Colors and Moods: Technicolor/Purple, Warm Cinematic.
Composition: top angle, close-up, element in thirds.
Aspect Ratio: e.g. 1200×628 for blog covers.
Negative Prompt: To avoid artifacts (hand/text distortion/noise).
Golden rule: Write clearly and in short sentences. If English yields better results, write in Arabic and then translate your description into English within the tool before generating it.
Step 3) Try a ready-made (copiable description
General template (Arabic → English):
Modern tech cover with no text, blue and purple colors, bright lighting, depth of field, clean digital style, 1200x628 ratio, high resolution.
English: “Tech blog cover, no text, blue and purple palette, glossy lighting, shallow depth of field, clean digital style, aspect ratio 1200×628, high detail.”
E-commerce product template:
“A single cosmetic product on a reflective glass surface, studio softbox lighting, high-detail, centered composition, no text, 1200×1200.”
Negative: “no watermark, no extra hands, no text, no logo artifacts.”
Realistic Portrait Template:
“Ultra-realistic portrait, soft daylight, 85mm lens, natural skin, sharp eyes catch-light, subtle background bokeh, head-and-shoulders framing.”
Cinematic Landscape Template:
“Wide cinematic landscape at golden hour, dramatic clouds, volumetric light rays, film look, ultra-detailed foliage, 16:9.”
Step 4) Generate the image and then optimize it (Practical Workflow)
1. Initial Generation: Try 3–6 versions with minor changes in description.
2. Selection: Choose the best composition/lighting.
3. Upscale: Use the built-in upscaler (2x or 4x) to increase sharpness.
4. Face Restore/Enhance (if necessary): Face Restore/Enhance to make eyes and skin appear natural.
5. Remove background: For commercial and social purposes, save a PNG version with a transparent background.
6. Coloring/Processing: Adjust contrast, hue, color temperature to match the brand identity.
7. Crop/Size: For Blogger covers use 1200×628, for Instagram 1080×1350, and for Stories 1080×1920.
8. Save for the web:
Images with graphics/icons → PNG.
Photographs → JPG/WebP at 80–90% quality.
Name the file with keywords: ai-blog-cover-1200x628.png.
Step 5) Important Settings (For Advance Users – Especially Stable Diffusion)
Steps: 20–30 is often sufficient for quality and speed.
CFG/Guidance: 5–8 Balance between descriptive adherence and artistic freedom.
Seed: Install it to reproduce the same result later.
Samplers: DDIM/Euler/DPMPP—Experiment with what gives smoother detail.
ControlNet: To install the configuration (use a reference diagram or image).
LoRA/Style Models: Add an artistic flair or specific photographic style where needed.
Step 6) Special treatment for Arabi calligraphy and logos
Avoid writing text inside the image via AI (inaccurate results).
Design the text by hand in Canva/Illustrator over the final image.
For logos: Generate only the background and then place the logo in a composite SVG/PNG format to maintain sharpness.
Step 7) Improve SEO and AAuthorities
Alt Text: Describe the theme + style + colors (10–16 words).
File name: Contains at least two keywords.
Title and Description: Use your keywords naturally.
Usage Rights: Do not use images of real people without explicit permission. Avoid trademarks in product shots unless licensed.
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Hand/Eye distortion: Increase steps + enable Face/Hands Fix or regenerate at simpler angles.
Faded Colors: Add the phrase “vivid, high-contrast, glossy lighting” and then adjust with the tool.
Noise/Grain: Use a light Upscale + Sharpen or moderate Denoise filter.
Unwanted texts: Add in the negative “no text, no watermark”.
Crop not suitable for platform: Adjust proportions before publishing (1200×628 for blog).
Conclusion
Working with AI-generated images is like any creative skill: clear description + quick experimentation + smart optimization = professional results. By adhering to sizing, naming, and Alt Text, you'll get attractive, SEO-friendly, and publishable images in no time.
