Visualize

What is Visualize?

Visualize is a feature that brings your writing to life by generating images based on your text. Whether you're describing a character, setting a scene, or painting a vivid landscape with your words, Visualize transforms your descriptions into visual representations—giving you a new perspective on your work.

This feature is especially helpful for:

Seeing how readers might imagine your descriptions

Visualizing characters or settings to ensure consistency

Finding inspiration when you're stuck

Bridging the gap between written descriptions and visual imagination

How to use Visualize

Visualize appears in the Plugins dropdown menu when you have text selected in your document. Here's how to use it:

Select a passage of text (minimum 10 words) that contains descriptive content

Click on the Plugins dropdown in the toolbar

Select Visualize from the list

Wait a moment while our AI generates an image based on your selection

View the generated image in the right sidebar

Once your image appears, you can:

Insert it directly into your document

Save it to your computer

Favorite it for later reference

ICYMI: Visualize only appears when you have text selected. Make sure your selection contains enough descriptive detail (at least 10 words) for the best results.

For best results from Visualize

The quality of your generated images depends on the detail in your text. Here are some tips:

Be specific: Include colors, textures, lighting, and other visual details

Set the scene: Describe the environment and atmosphere

Focus on the most important elements: What do you want to stand out?

Keep it cohesive: Conflicting descriptions might result in unusual images

For example, instead of: "A castle on a hill."

Try: "A gothic stone castle perched on a misty green hill, its dark spires piercing the dawn sky, with stained glass windows glinting in the morning light."

Essentially, use the same descriptive language you’d use when trying to conjure an image in your readers mind for best results.
