Changing the Pictures on Your Website

How it works

Changing pictures on your website works the same as any other change — you type a request, it's done for you, you approve the preview. The only difference is the request mentions which image.

You have three options for where the new image comes from:

1. One is generated for you (no upload needed)
2. You provide a photo from your phone/computer (upload first, then request)
3. You point to a photo online (paste a link)

Option 1 — Have one created for you (easiest)

If you don't have a specific photo in mind, one can be made for you. Just describe what you want:

• "Replace the big photo at the top with a picture of a cozy bakery interior, warm lighting, fresh bread on display"
• "Add a hero image to the Services page showing a friendly mechanic working on a car"
• "Create a background image for the testimonials section — soft blue gradient with subtle geometric shapes"

The image is generated and slotted in for you. If the first attempt isn't right, click Try again and describe what you'd change.

Option 2 — Upload your own photo

If you took the photo on your phone or have it on your computer:

1. Open your dashboard → click Pages in the left menu
2. Find the page that has the image you want to change
3. Click Manage on that page
4. Look for the image and click Replace (or use the change request below if you don't see a Replace button)

Or use a change request after uploading: upload to a free image host like imgur.com or Google Drive (with public sharing on), then in the request box type:

"Replace the big photo at the top of the homepage with the image at https://i.imgur.com/abc123.jpg"

Option 3 — Point to a photo online

Have a photo you found on your camera roll uploaded somewhere already (Imgur, Dropbox, your social media, a Google Drive link)? Just paste the link into the change request:

"Change the team photo on the About page to https://drive.google.com/the-photo-link"

Make sure the link works in a private browsing window — if it doesn't open without login, we can't see it either.

What makes a good image request?

📍 Say WHERE. "The hero image at the top of the homepage", "the third photo down on the About page", "the picture next to the pricing table".

🎨 Describe the new image clearly if you want one generated for you. The more detail, the better:

• ✅ "A close-up of fresh sourdough bread on a wooden board, soft window light, warm tones"


• ❌ "A nice food photo"

📐 Mention sizing if you care. "Full-width", "filling the section", "small thumbnail in the corner". We usually figure this out, but we can't read your mind.

Tips for getting good results

• For your own photos: the higher resolution the better. Phones take great photos these days. Hold landscape (sideways) for hero images — most spots on websites are wider than they are tall.
• For generated images: longer, more specific descriptions work better than short vague ones. Mention lighting ("soft natural light", "dramatic shadows"), mood ("cozy and inviting", "professional and clean"), and the main subject.
• For online images: make sure you have permission to use them. Don't grab photos off random Google searches — most are copyrighted. Free stock photo sites like unsplash.com and pexels.com have thousands of usable photos.

Common questions

"How much does an image change cost?"
Same as any other change. Generated images and uploaded images cost the same.

"Will copyrighted photos be used by mistake?"
No — generated images are original, not copies of real photos. If you provide your own image (Option 2 or 3), make sure you have the right to use it.

"Can I get the same kind of image style I have elsewhere?"
Yes — reference your existing images in the request: "Add a section image in the same style as the hero photo on the homepage". We'll try to match the look and feel.

"My uploaded image looks blurry"
Higher resolution wins. If you took the photo on your phone, the original (before texting it to yourself or compressing it) is highest quality — share that direct from your phone's Photos app, not after sending it through messages.
