Creating Your First AI Image
Rheos creates professional images for your social media posts using AI. Just describe what you want, and the platform generates options for you to choose from.
Before you begin: Upload a few of your brand photos to Library first. This helps the AI match your visual style.
Starting a New Image
Click the purple Create button in the sidebar, or go to Studio and click Create Content.
Choose your platform:
Instagram – Square format images for Instagram posts
LinkedIn Post – Professional format for LinkedIn
Describing What You Want
In the prompt box, describe the image you need in simple, everyday language:
Good examples:
"Coffee mug on a desk with morning light"
"Team meeting in a modern office"
"Product photo on a clean white background"
"Laptop and notebook on a wooden table"
Write like you're asking a colleague to take a photo for you.
Keep it simple. One clear sentence usually works better than long, complicated descriptions.
Generating Your Image
Type your description
Make sure Instagram or LinkedIn is selected
Click Continue
Wait 10-30 seconds while the AI creates your image
The AI will generate an image based on your description.
Reviewing the Result
When your image appears:
Like it? Click the heart icon to save it to your favorites
Want to try again? Change your description slightly and generate another version
Need options? Generate a few different versions and pick the best one
You can generate multiple images and compare them before deciding which to use.
Saving Images You Like
Liked images are saved temporarily so you can review them later. To keep an image permanently:
Select the image
Click Add to Library
Choose which project/folder to save it in
Click confirm
Now the image is saved in your Library and ready to use in posts.
Each generation uses credits from your account. Like images first, then decide which ones to save - this uses credits more efficiently.
Using Your Brand Style
If you've uploaded brand photos to your Library, you can use them as references:
When creating an image, click to add context assets
Select 2-3 of your brand photos from Library
Generate as usual
The AI will create images that match the style of your reference photos.
Common Image Types
Product photos: "Photo of [product] on a [surface], clean and professional"
Workplace scenes: "Modern office space with [description]"
Lifestyle images: "Person [doing activity], natural and casual"
Graphics: "Simple graphic for [topic], clean design"
What Uses Credits
You use credits when you generate an image, not when you like or save it. Check your credit balance in Settings > Billing.
If you're running low on credits:
Generate fewer test versions
Describe exactly what you need to get it right faster
Upgrade your plan for more monthly credits
Troubleshooting
"Please enter a prompt and select a platform" Make sure you've typed a description and chosen Instagram or LinkedIn.
Image doesn't match what you wanted Try describing it differently or adding more detail about the setting, lighting, or mood.
Generation is taking a long time This usually takes 10-30 seconds. Check your internet connection and wait a bit longer.
