Just describe the image in your prompt, the way you'd describe anything else: > Add a hero image of an oceanfront cabin at golden hour, and give the dining section a photo of a coastal dinner spread. Tented's image agent generates each image, saves it to your assets, and weaves it into the design. It works everywhere you chat with Tented: the **tent editor**, the **email editor**, and both **template** editors. Be as specific with images as you are with copy — subject, mood, lighting, and style all help. "A warm, editorial photo of fresh sourdough on a rustic wooden counter, morning light" beats "a bread photo." ## What it costs Image generation uses AI credits, separate from the code generation that places the images: * **0.5 credits per image** * Up to **5 images per request** A single image generates right away. Ask for **two or more** and Tented pauses to confirm the cost first: A screenshot of the Image Agent confirmation card in the editor chat, quoting the number of images and total credit cost, with Yes, generate and Cancel buttons. Click **Yes, generate** to proceed, or **Cancel** to rewrite your request — canceling costs nothing. If you ask for more than five images, Tented offers to generate the first five; you can always request the rest in a follow-up message. ## Where the images go Generated images appear right in the chat as they finish, and the follow-up generation codes them into your design: A screenshot of the editor chat showing the Image Agent's generated-images message with three thumbnails, the follow-up generation describing where each image was placed, and the page hero using the new cabin photo. Every generated image is also saved to the tent's **assets** (the image icon in the top bar), with a descriptive filename — so you can reuse or download it later, even if you change the design: A screenshot of the Tent Assets panel listing the three generated images with descriptive filenames and hosted URLs. You can also generate images *without* touching the design — handy for building up an asset library: > Generate a photo of a seaside spa treatment room and save it to my assets. Don't change the page. ## Generated vs. uploaded images Two ways to get images into your work, and they play well together: * **Generate** when you need something custom that doesn't exist yet — Tented creates it from your description. * **Upload** (the **+** button in the chat, or the assets window) when you have the real thing — your product photos, your logo, your team headshots. Reference either kind in your prompts: "use the photo I just uploaded as the hero background" works exactly like "use the second image you generated." Image generations are tracked in [Analytics](/configuring-tented/analytics) alongside initial and iterative generations, so you can see how your credits are being spent. ## Tips for better images * **One subject per image.** Five focused requests beat one crowded collage prompt. * **Name the style.** "Editorial photography," "flat illustration," "watercolor," "3D render" — the agent follows style cues closely. * **Match your brand.** Mention your palette or mood ("warm neutrals, soft morning light") so generated images sit naturally next to your brand colors. * **Iterate like everything else.** Don't like a result? Ask for a variation: "regenerate the hero image, but at dusk and with no people." Sharpen the prompts behind your pages, emails, and images.
