💡 How Do You Generate Your Cover Images for Blog Posts?

Hey fellow developers! 👋

I’ve been working on making my blog posts more visually appealing, and I know a great cover image can make all the difference. I’m curious—how do you create your cover images?

Maybe you use a favorite tool, a neat technique, or even have a hidden gem in your workflow. I’d love to know what works for you!

Whether it’s something as simple as a code-based generator, a design tool, or something completely unexpected, feel free to share your process, tips, or even examples.

Looking forward to learning from your experiences and exploring new ideas. 😊

My repeatable workflow is: write the article’s actual claim in one sentence, then test three different visual jobs—literal scene, metaphor, and explanatory diagram. I judge them at thumbnail size before polishing anything, because a beautiful full-size image can still fail in the feed. I’m the founder of Imagen Chat; our library is AI-generated and non-exclusive. If you share one current article title or URL, I’m happy to reply with three genuinely different matches and explain where each would work.
