AI Images for Blog Headers: On-Brand Art for Every Article

Blog posts ship without art because producing a header per article is a design request. Generate one instead, in the right size, every time.

Editorial art is the most commonly skipped asset in content marketing. The article is written, reviewed and scheduled, and the header is either a stock image used ten times already or nothing at all, because commissioning one per post is not scalable.

OpenFilmo produces it in the workflow. Describe the article's subject, generate a header in the right ratio, and apply the brand kit so headers are consistent across the whole blog. Two credits per image means every post can have one.

What it does

Built for this specific job, not a generic generator.

Header art from the article subject

Describe the topic and generate art that illustrates it rather than decorating it.

Consistent sizing

Produce at the header ratio your template expects, so nothing needs cropping.

Brand kit applied

Fonts and palette carried across headers so the blog reads as one publication.

Social card versions

Export a version sized for social sharing from the same source.

How it works

Four steps, no timeline to learn.

  1. Describe the argument, not the topic

    A header illustrating the article's actual point is more useful than one illustrating its category.

  2. Generate at template size

    Produce the ratio your template uses so the header does not need cropping.

  3. Reuse a consistent treatment

    Apply the same visual treatment across posts so the blog reads coherently.

  4. Export a social card too

    Produce a sharing version so the link preview matches the article.

What people make with it

The jobs this actually gets used for.

Per-article headers

Every post ships with art instead of a placeholder.

Social sharing cards

A preview image sized correctly for link sharing.

Series and pillar art

Consistent art across a content series or pillar cluster.

Backlog clean-up

Add headers to older posts that shipped without one.

Why every post should have art

The header is doing two jobs, not one.

A blog header works twice: it sets expectation on the article page, and it becomes the preview image wherever the link is shared. A post without one loses both, and loses the second more severely because link previews without images are largely ignored.

The reason posts ship without art is not disagreement about that. It is that producing one per article is a design request, and design requests do not scale to editorial cadence.

Generation fits editorial cadence. Two credits and a minute per article means the header stops being a request and becomes part of publishing.

Credits and plans

Generation is metered in credits, shared across every tool.

One image costs 2 credits and a 4K upscale costs 4. The Free plan gives you 30 credits every month with no credit card, no watermark and commercial use included. Paid plans start at $9 for 400 credits and add faster generation and parallel tasks.

Frequently asked questions

Can I generate a header from my article topic?

Yes. Describe the article's actual argument rather than its general category — headers illustrating a specific point are more useful than generic topic art.

Will headers look consistent across posts?

Yes, if you apply the brand kit and reuse the same treatment. Consistency comes from the template, not from generating carefully each time.

Can I use these images commercially?

Yes. Every plan including Free includes commercial use and watermark-free downloads, so headers can be used on commercial sites.

What does one image cost?

One AI image costs 2 credits. The Free plan gives 30 credits monthly, roughly fifteen images. Paid plans start at $9 for 400 credits.

Can I make a version for link sharing?

Yes. Generate a social card sized for sharing so the link preview matches the article header.
