AI Art Generation: Create Images with AI
Generate custom images, illustrations, and graphics using AI directly in HeyBoss. No need for Midjourney, DALL·E, or stock photos - create exactly what you need with text descriptions.
Perfect for: Custom hero images, product mockups, illustrations, icons, background images, marketing graphics, blog post images.
What is AI Art Generation?
AI Art Generation lets you create unique images by describing what you want in plain English. Instead of searching stock photo sites or hiring designers, simply tell the AI what image you need and it will generate it for you.
Example Prompts:
\"A modern office workspace with large windows and natural light\"
\"Abstract blue and purple gradient background for tech website\"
\"Cartoon mascot character holding a laptop, friendly and professional\"
\"Product photo of wireless headphones on wooden desk with plants\"
\"Minimalist line art icon of a rocket ship, simple and clean\"
How to Generate AI Art in HeyBoss
Method 1: During Project Creation
Start creating a new project
In your project description, mention needed images
Example: \"Create a landing page with a hero section showing a futuristic city skyline at sunset\"
HeyBoss will automatically generate images as part of the design
Method 2: Using Chat Mode
Open your project in HeyBoss
Go to Chat Mode
Request image generation: \"Generate a hero image showing [description]\"
AI will create the image and add it to your project
Refine if needed: \"Make it brighter\" or \"Change to daytime scene\"
Method 3: Replace Existing Images
Click on an image in your project
In Chat Mode, say: \"Replace this image with [description]\"
AI generates new image and swaps it in
Iterate until perfect
Writing Effective Image Prompts
Be Specific and Descriptive
Bad prompt: \"A nice background\"
Good prompt: \"Abstract geometric pattern with blue and teal colors, modern and minimal, suitable for tech company hero background\"
Include Key Elements
Specify these details for best results:
Subject: What's the main focus? (person, object, scene)
Style: Photorealistic, illustration, cartoon, abstract, minimalist
Colors: Specific colors or color scheme
Mood: Professional, friendly, energetic, calm
Setting: Indoor, outdoor, abstract background
Lighting: Natural light, studio lighting, sunset, dramatic
Prompt Formula
Use this structure:
[Subject] + [Style] + [Details] + [Colors] + [Mood]
Example: \"Modern workspace (subject), photorealistic style (style), with MacBook and coffee cup on desk (details), warm natural tones (colors), professional and inviting atmosphere (mood)\"

Refining Generated Images
Iterative Improvement
If the first generation isn't perfect, refine it:
Adjust colors: \"Make the background darker\" or \"Use warmer tones\"
Change composition: \"Move the subject to the left\" or \"Add more space around edges\"
Modify style: \"Make it more abstract\" or \"Make it more photorealistic\"
Add elements: \"Add plants in the background\" or \"Include a laptop on the desk\"
Remove elements: \"Remove the person\" or \"Simplify the background\"
Multiple Variations
Generate several options:
\"Generate 3 different hero image options for this section\"
\"Show me variations with different color schemes\"
\"Create day and night versions of this scene\"
Best Practices
Image Quality
Be descriptive - More detail = better results
Specify dimensions - Mention if you need wide, square, or tall format
Reference styles - \"Like Apple's website\" or \"Similar to Dribbble trends\"
Iterate - First generation rarely perfect, refine 2-3 times
Use Cases
Placeholder to final - Start with AI art, replace later if needed
Unique branding - Create custom images matching your brand
Quick mockups - Fast visualization for concepts
Cost savings - No stock photo licenses or designer fees
Avoid Common Issues
Too vague: \"Nice image\" → \"Modern tech office with glass walls and city view\"
Conflicting styles: \"Photorealistic cartoon\" → Choose one style
Too complex: Break into multiple images if too many elements
Copyrighted content: Don't request specific brands, logos, or celebrities
AI Art vs Stock Photos
Advantages of AI Art
Unique images - No one else has the same image
Perfect fit - Created exactly for your needs
No licensing - Own full rights to use commercially
Fast iteration - Change instantly with new prompts
Cost effective - No per-image fees or subscriptions
Brand consistency - Match your exact color scheme and style
When to Use Stock Photos Instead
Need specific real people or locations
Require guaranteed photo realism
Subject matter AI struggles with (complex poses, specific products)
When you have specific photo in mind from stock library
Pro tip: Use AI art for backgrounds, abstract graphics, and illustrations. Use stock photos for real people and specific locations.

Troubleshooting Image Generation
Image Doesn't Match Description
Solutions:
Be more specific in prompt
Add style references: \"Like [website].com\"
Break complex requests into simpler parts
Specify what NOT to include: \"No people, no text\"
Image Quality is Low
Solutions:
Request \"high resolution\" or \"4K quality\"
Add \"professional photography\" or \"commercial quality\"
Specify \"sharp details\" and \"high clarity\"
Avoid overly complex scenes
Wrong Style Generated
Solutions:
Explicitly state style: \"photorealistic\" or \"illustration\"
Add style references: \"in the style of Apple product photography\"
Be specific about artistic direction
Request regeneration with clearer style description
Image Doesn't Fit Design

Complex images: More credits (detailed scenes, photorealistic renders)
Iterations: Each regeneration uses credits
Batch generation: Creating multiple images uses more credits
Saving Credits
Be specific in first prompt to reduce iterations
Reuse successful images across projects
Start with simple images, add complexity only if needed
Use stock photos for some images, AI art for unique ones
Common Questions
Can I generate images of real people?
You can generate photorealistic portraits, but they won't be of specific real people. The AI creates unique faces that don't exist in real life. For images of actual people, use stock photos or real photographs.
How is this different from Midjourney or DALL·E?
HeyBoss integrates AI image generation directly into your website builder. No need to use separate tools, download images, or upload them manually. Just describe what you want and it's added to your project instantly.
Can I download the generated images?
Yes! Images are automatically added to your project and can be downloaded individually or as part of your project export.
What if I don't like the generated image?
Request regeneration with a more specific prompt, ask for variations, or describe what to change. You can iterate until you get the perfect image.
Can I use these images outside of HeyBoss?
Yes! You can download and use the images in other projects, marketing materials, presentations, or anywhere you need them (subject to HeyBoss's terms of service).
Are there content restrictions?
Yes. Cannot generate: copyrighted characters, trademarked logos, specific celebrities, violent/inappropriate content, or anything violating HeyBoss's acceptable use policy.
How long does image generation take?
Most images generate in 10-30 seconds. Complex, high-quality images may take up to 1-2 minutes.
Can I edit AI-generated images?
Yes! Use Quick Edit to adjust positioning, size, or replace them. You can also request the AI to modify the image with new prompts.
