Add and generate images in a document
Upload your own picture or describe the figure you need, then caption it so it numbers itself in the finished PDF.

This guide shows you how to put an image in a document, either your own file or one described in a sentence, and how to caption it.
Reports and proposals need pictures that carry meaning, not decoration. Both routes live in the same panel, so it takes seconds either way.
Select the image block
Click an image already in the document, or drag a new image block in from the toolkit. The panel on the right is where everything happens.
Upload your own
Upload takes a photo, a screenshot, a chart you exported from somewhere else, or a logo. It replaces whatever is in the block, so this is also how you swap out an image the document was built with.
Or describe the figure
Generate opens a description box. Write what the figure should show and how it should look, then press Generate. It takes a moment and the result lands straight in the block.
Concrete beats poetic here. “A clean isometric diagram of a delivery van” gives you something usable. “Something about logistics” does not.
If the first result is not right, change the wording and generate again. Each attempt replaces the last, so the document never fills up with rejects.
Caption it
Write the caption in the panel. Captions are numbered automatically when the document is laid out, and that numbering runs at the very end of the layout pass, so a figure that shifts to another page still gets the right number.
Captions are also what a reader scans first, so say what the figure shows rather than repeating the heading above it.
