Using the Social Image Generator

Automatically generate a unique image for your posts before sharing them on your connected social accounts with the Social Image Generator.

Your custom images will help increase engagement on social media by making your posts more visually appealing, and you’ll save time creating posts. This feature is available with the Jetpack Social paid plan.

Log in to your WP Admin and navigate to Jetpack → Social.
Toggle on Automatically share your posts to social networks.
Switch on Enable Social Image Generator. If this is turned on, Social Image Generator will automatically be enabled for new posts. If this is turned off, Social Image Generator will need to be enabled manually (in the post settings) for any new posts.

Access the sidebar containing social media sharing settings by clicking on the Jetpack icon if using the Jetpack plugin, or the Social icon if you’re using the Jetpack Social plugin.

In the sidebar, navigate to the Social Image Generator section and click the Settings button to open the image settings. From there, you can customize your social image.

There are a number of ways that you can modify the appearance of your generated social image on your posts:

Preview: Shows you a preview of how your social image will look.
Image Type: Lets you choose between three different image options:
- Featured Image: The generated image will use the featured image of the post.
- Custom Image: You can upload a new image to be used instead.
- No Image: The social image will only display the post title or the custom text you entered.
Custom Header: Allows you to enter your own text to use in the social image. By default, the post title is used.
Templates: Choose a different template for your social image.

Click Save to save your image settings. Publish your post now or schedule it for later, and your generated social image will be used when your post is shared on your social networks.
