How to use the tool
Describe your scene. Write a vivid prompt such as “Sunlit desert dunes with rippling sand” or “Neon-lit ramen shop on a rainy night.”
Add overlay text. Enter a short hook like “Desert Retreat Webinar” or “Mid-Night Menu Launch.” Keep it within 10 words for clarity.
Select text color. Choose a hue that contrasts the background; e.g., #FF5733 for warm scenes or #00CED1 for cooler tones.
Pick font size. Small ≈ 24 px, Medium ≈ 32 px, Large ≈ 40 px. WCAG recommends at least 20 px for body text readability (W3C, 2018).
Set alignment. Left, center, or right to balance the composition.
Generate. Click “Generate X Photo”; wait 10-30 s while the AI renders your 1600 × 900 image (OpenAI, 2022).
Copy or download. Review the preview, then copy the embed code or save the file for posting.

How do I keep text readable?
Select colors with at least a 4.5 : 1 contrast ratio and choose Medium or Large font; this meets WCAG 2.1 AA readability standards (W3C, 2018).
Can I add text in other languages?
Yes. The overlay accepts any Unicode script, letting you post in Arabic, Japanese or emoji without extra setup.
How long does generation take?
Most renders finish in 10–30 s. Complex multi-object prompts lean toward the upper range (OpenAI, 2022).
Is commercial use allowed?
You may use generated images in promoted tweets; ensure content complies with X’s Ads Policies and copyright law (Twitter Ads Policies, 2023).
Which font size should I choose?
Pick Small for mobile captions, Medium for general posts, Large for headlines ≥40 px to capture attention (Smashing Magazine, 2021).
Can I edit images after download?

How detailed should my description be?
Include setting, lighting, mood and key objects—“Golden-hour alpine lake with mist” triggers richer outputs than “Nice lake.” Detailed prompts guide the AI, reducing revisions (Köhler, 2023).
