Generating photos with AI

No photos of your own yet? Generate images that match your site's style with AI — each one uses a credit.

If you don't have your own photos, SiteDrop can generate images that match your site's style and subject with AI — handy for a hero banner, a service card, or a background.

Good to know — Each AI photo you generate uses 1 credit, from the same balance that pays for building and AI-editing your site. A free account gets a one-off 25 credits; paid plans get an allowance that refreshes every month. See Understanding credits.

Generate a photo

  1. In the editor, choose to generate an image for the spot you want.
  2. Describe what you want to see, or let SiteDrop suggest something that fits.
  3. Pick the result you like — it drops straight into your site.

Tip — Prefer your own photos where you have them — they're free and they're the real thing. Use AI photos to fill the gaps. You can always swap an AI photo for a real one later.

Happy with the images? Publish your changes.

The two editors, and which one you'll see

SiteDrop has two ways to edit, depending on how your site was made. Here's how to tell which one you're in and what each is best at.

Editing text and headings

Change any wording on your site — headlines, paragraphs, buttons, and labels — without touching code.

Changing your theme, colours, and fonts

Switch between ready-made themes and font pairings, or set your own colours — with text contrast protected automatically so your site stays readable.

Adding, removing, and reordering sections

Build your page the way you want: add a new section, delete one you don't need, or drag them into a different order.
