Why AI for hero images
Stock photos often feel generic. AI lets you generate hero images that match your product, audience, and message—with space for headlines and CTAs.
What you can create
- Landing page heroes (product launch, SaaS, e-commerce)
- Website banners (homepage, campaign pages)
- Email header images
- Webinar and event visuals
- App store screenshots (backgrounds)
A conversion-focused workflow
1. Define the message: what should the hero communicate? 2. Reserve space for headline (centered, left-aligned, negative space) 3. Generate 6–10 options (different compositions, lighting) 4. Pick 2; add real headline and CTA on a canvas 5. Export at 2x for retina (e.g. 2400px wide for 1200px display)
Pro tips
- Prompt for "negative space", "clean background", "headline area" to leave room for text
- Match the mood to your offer (urgent vs. calm, premium vs. playful)
- Don't generate final copy in the image—add it in Webflow, Figma, or your CMS
