How To Create Great Images In Image Studio

Spread the love

In this video and blog post, I want to talk about how to create great images in Image Studio. Wealthy Affiliate has released a powerful new feature: the Image Studio. It lets you generate professional images, thumbnails, and banners directly inside your WA account using AI. In this post, I’ll show you how to access the tool, use credits, choose the right aspect ratios, and create your first design in seconds. I also share first impressions, example outputs, and a few practical tips.

What is the Wealthy Affiliate Image Studio?

The Image Studio is an integrated design tool inside Wealthy Affiliate. You type a short prompt describing the scene or graphic you want (for example, “1920s English village Christmas card scene”), choose an aspect ratio, and generate a finished image in a few seconds. It’s ideal for:

YouTube thumbnails (16:9)
Blog post illustrations and featured images
Social media graphics
Simple banner and promo images
Quick mockups for ideas and testing

How the credit system works

The Image Studio uses Wealthy Affiliate credits per generation. You’ll see your current balance at the top of the interface. Each image costs a small number of credits to create (for example, 500 credits per render at the time of writing). You can experiment freely and iterate quickly because generations are very fast.

Step-by-step: creating your first image

Log in to your Wealthy Affiliate account and open the Design Pop Studio area.
Select Image Studio.
Enter a clear prompt describing the image you want (scene, style, era, subject, atmosphere).
Choose an aspect ratio. For YouTube thumbnails, pick 16:9. For square posts, use 1:1.
(Optional) Add reference images or your logo if you want to brand the output.
Click Generate and wait a few seconds for the result.
Open the image, review it, and regenerate or refine your prompt if you want variations.

Real examples and first impressions

I tested a traditional English Christmas village scene set in the 1920s, and the tool generated a clean, usable image in roughly 10–20 seconds. I also tried some banner-style graphics and simple edits. While I’m not a designer, the speed and quality were impressive—especially considering this feature is brand new and already improving.

Best practices for better outputs

Be specific, but not bloated: Include era, setting, subject, and mood. You can always iterate.
Pick the right aspect ratio from the start: 16:9 for YouTube thumbnails, 1:1 for square posts, 4:5 or 9:16 for vertical social posts.
Use logos sparingly: Upload a clean PNG logo and place it where it won’t clash with text.
Iterate quickly: Small prompt tweaks (lighting, angle, weather, season) can lift quality fast.
Keep a gallery: Save promising generations and build a library you can repurpose.

Pros and considerations

Pros: Extremely fast, inside WA, easy to use, ideal for quick thumbnails and blog images.
Considerations: Like all AI image tools, you may need a few iterations to get the exact look you want. Keep prompts concise and targeted.

Logo Designer and other built-in tools

Alongside Image Studio, Wealthy Affiliate includes a Logo Designer and other design helpers in the Design Pop Studio area. These make it simple to create consistent branding assets across your YouTube channel, blog, and social platforms.
