Forms

AI images in forms

Conversational forms have real space for pictures: a split layout gives half the screen to an image. Rather than hunting for a photo that fits, describe the one you want and it is made at the shape the slot needs.

The welcome screen on a split layout gives the picture half the screen, which is the largest image slot a form has.

Where a form has room for a picture

Three places. The welcome screen, on the split and overlay layouts, where the image is doing the work of making somebody want to start. The media panel of a split conversational theme, which is visible behind every question. And an image block on a specific question, where you are showing something the question is about.

The shape is chosen for you

Images generate at a 3:4 portrait shape by default, which is what the split panel and the welcome layouts want. That is worth knowing before you write the prompt: describe a scene that works standing up rather than one that needs width, because a wide landscape squeezed into a tall slot loses its edges.

Write the prompt for the mood

A form image sits behind a question, so it is background rather than subject. Prompts that work describe a place, a light and a feeling: an empty studio at sunrise, a clean workshop bench, a quiet clinic waiting room. Prompts that fail describe a busy scene with people doing something specific, because that competes with the question in front of it.

Generated images stay yours to reuse

An image you generate is kept with the form, so you can use it again on another screen rather than regenerating it and getting something slightly different. Consistency across the screens of one form matters more than any individual picture being perfect.

How it works, in three steps

  1. Step 1

    Pick the slot first

    Welcome screen, theme media panel or a question. The slot decides the shape and how much detail is visible.

  2. Step 2

    Describe a place, not an event

    A location, a light and a mood. Detailed action competes with the question the image sits behind.

  3. Step 3

    Reuse rather than regenerate

    Images stay with the form, so use the same one across screens instead of making a near-match.

Questions people ask

What shape are generated form images?

Portrait, at 3:4 by default, because that is what the split welcome layout and the conversational media panel need.

Can I upload my own picture instead?

Yes, anywhere an image can be generated it can also be uploaded, and your own photograph of your own place beats a generated one every time.

What makes a good prompt for a form image?

A place, a light and a mood, with no busy action. The picture sits behind a question, so it should not compete with it.
