Hey everyone!

I’ve got some big news to share today — the Image Studio is now live!

Many of you have already jumped into the beta release, creating all sorts of incredible visuals and exploring what this new platform can do. If you haven’t yet, don’t worry , I’ll walk you through how to join the beta, how to claim your free credits, and how to start creating your own images today.

But first, a quick sip of coffee from my WA mug. ☕


The Image Studio Beta Is Live

We’ve just rolled out the beta version of the Image Studio to all Premium and Premium Plus+ members.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Go to the Image Studio Has Officially Launched post (linked in the description or in my featured comment).
  • Scroll down to the comments and type “beta”, along with how you plan to use the tool. For example, blog headers, social media ads, product mockups, etc.
  • You’ll get 20,000 AI credits (a $100 value) added to your account.

If you’re a Starter member, upgrading now will give you:

  • 10,000 bonus AI credits
  • A free domain
  • Plus, the ability to join the Image Studio beta and get the additional 20,000 credits

This beta will only run for about a week, and we’re already a few days in — so jump on it soon.

Your New Creative Suite Inside Wealthy Affiliate

You’ll notice a new AI Tools section in your side menu. It now includes:

  • Article Designer – Create full-length, SEO-optimized content using AI templates.
  • Logo Designer – Build beautiful, professional logos in seconds.
  • Image Studio – Create any kind of image for your business (this week’s big launch).
  • Jaaxy Research – Perform advanced keyword and niche research for SEO, social, and paid campaigns.

You can expect this menu to keep evolving ... we’re building out new AI tools across all types of media creation.

Exploring the Image Studio.

Alright, let’s head inside the new platform.

When you open the Image Studio, you’ll find a clean interface where you can:

  • Describe the image you want to create
  • Reference existing images (for branding or context)
  • Adjust aspect ratios, styles, and art types
  • Edit, enhance, and reimagine any image you create

Here’s an example:

“A dog flying through space in a spaceship with Saturn in the background.”

In seconds, it generated exactly that — a dog in a spaceship, with Saturn glowing behind it.

Now, I can take that image and reference it in a new one:

“Add the Wealthy Affiliate logo to the snow in the background.”

The platform understands the reference and incorporates it naturally, complete with snow imprints and shadows for realism.

That’s the kind of flexibility we wanted to give you: AI that feels intuitive, that lets you experiment and iterate as you go.

Editing & Evolving Your Creations.

Every image you create can be edited and refined.

Just click Edit, and your image appears as a reference at the top. From there, you can:

  • Change the background (e.g., “make it sunset lighting”)
  • Add new elements (“place a WA logo on the side of the spaceship”)
  • Adjust the art style (black-and-white film, 3D, vector, oil painting, etc.)
  • Change the aspect ratio for specific uses (1:1 for social, 16:9 for banners, 21:9 for blog headers)

For example, I took my “dog in a spaceship” image, added a sunset, changed it to a 21:9 cinematic view, and even created a black-and-white film version (all in a few clicks).

You can create multiple variations of the same idea and build an entire visual brand style around it.

Practical Use Cases.

The Image Studio isn’t just for fun (though it’s great for that too).

Here are a few real-world applications:

Blog posts & website headers
Pinterest and Facebook creatives
Instagram carousels & quote cards
Product mockups & digital packaging
Ad visuals & promotional graphics
Infographics and charts
Concept art & product design
Branded imagery with your logo

You can even create comparison charts, 3D renderings, and on-image text graphics (for quotes, posts, or ebook covers).

And yes, it works great for photo editing too. You can change outfits, scenes, or even add yourself into creative environments for branding or storytelling.

A Few Tips for Great Results

  • Start simple. Use short, clear prompts. Then refine.
  • Leverage the Edit tool. Small, progressive changes lead to more accurate results.
  • Experiment with aspect ratios. It matters a lot depending on where you’ll use the image.
  • Reference images. Use your logo, brand photos, or product shots to build consistency.
  • Try dark mode. It’s easier on the eyes (and honestly, it looks great).

Share Your Feedback

We’re already working on Image Studio 2.0, with even more powerful tools and features.

Your feedback is critical, so please tell us:

  • What do you love so far?
  • What features would make your workflow even smoother?
  • What new use cases do you want to see added?

Drop your comments in the beta post and share what you’re building. You’ll inspire others and help shape the next generation of this platform.

Good morning Kyle,

I'm a bit late to replying to your post, Kyle!

I think when you get your next mugs made, you need to have the logo on both sides, especially if you are going on to business meetings on Zoom, etc. Like you, I'm not a fan of Starbucks coffee, I try and avoid, to be fair.

I like the first prompt, it is absolutely amazing what AI can do, it is good that you chose something wacky to start with, Kyle!!😄

The image studio is really impressive, Kyle, and quick, amazing work by your team! It looks like I may be cancelling my Canva subscription soon!

Do you think it would be worth adding some Wealthy Affiliate logos, so that we can use them within the image studio, just a thought?

I asked Image Studio to make me an English farmhouse Christmas scene with horses, etc, from around 1900, have a look at the result, amazing and so quick!

Have a fantastic day.

Excellent Roy, nice work on the image. Like you, I don't need any other tool any longer other than the Image Studio and I can tell you that it will only continue to evolve and become more feature reach as time goes on. We have a lot of v2 additions that we are already working on, and glad you are really loving the platform.

I agree, double sided is the way to go on the mugs in particular if you are using them for meetings and you have people that are both left handed and right handed. It is much better for marketing, than a blank side of the mug!

You have a fantastic day as well!

I actually created a YouTube video yesterday, on Image Studio, Kyle. Normally, when I demonstrate software, I would have to pause the video, however, the image created so quickly, I didn't need to pause the video!

It will be interesting to see what version 2 brings, Kyle! I really am amazed how quickly it creates the images, as it takes a few minutes in ChatGPT often for YouTube thumbnails, etc.

I always think if you don't have a double sided mug, it kind of defeats the object, especially if it's advertising.

Have a fantastic day.

This Image Studio is amazing. I was able to upload my own image after clearing my cache. But when I tried again, I couldn't upload anymore, I did manage to create a nice image here. But it did not save in my images.

Maybe you should clear your browser cache as well.

I did that twice. It's working now.

Great, once again!

Awesome, nice work with the Image Studio and glad your bug is sorted now. If it happens again and you can reproduce, let me know exactly how you do this and I will have a look. :)

Thank you so much Kyle!

It looks really great, Kyle! Very thoughtful and creative!

I'm still continuing to improve mine.

Glad you are enjoying it! :)

I guess I'm just learning about the webp format and its capability. When downloading images, I've always avoided them because I didn't have the tools to alter them if I wanted and because Google was the one that developed it. I still don't like or trust Google, but I now understand that webp files compress/decompress faster and are smaller, with higher resolution. More efficient for web site speeds.

OIn my website I use a free plugin called converter for media this can change all your png, jpeg to Webp for free works very well.
It may take a few minutes the first time depending on how many images you have plus you can set it to convert any new images as you upload them to the media library.

Hey. that's good to know. Thank you.

Hi Kyle,
Beta - It’s such a powerful addition to the platform. I love how easy it is to create images that truly match the content I’m working on. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right picture for a blog post, but now we have the ability to generate exactly what we need, right here on WA! That’s a game changer!
I plan to use Image Studio to create visuals for my blog, social media posts, and even logos. It really opens up new creative possibilities.
Just wondering, will there be an option in the future to create script-to-video content? That would be another incredible feature to help bring our ideas to life visually.
Thank you, this tool is truly inspiring!

Excellent Jocelyne, and glad to hear you are loving the platform. It is totally a gamechanger to everyone's business here at WA and you can leverage this tool to create all of your images, media, promos, branded images, memes...ebook covers, in person images, etc.

You name it, we got you! So glad you are enjoying this platform!
