Quickly generate a visual to support your lesson or explanation.
What does this AI tool do?
The Create Image AI tool allows you to generate a custom visual based on any topic or concept relevant to your lesson. You can use it for:
illustrating abstract ideas like photosynthesis or electricity flow
visualising historical scenes or scientific processes
enriching your lesson with tailor-made, rights-free images
Ideal for when you can’t find a suitable image online or simply want to save time.
How does it work?
1. Describe your topic or concept
Type a short and clear description of what you want to visualise. For example:
A medieval castle from above
The process of photosynthesis in plants
An electricity circuit in a house
The internal structure of a volcano
⚠️ Avoid using names of real people, companies, or brands. Use generic terms instead for the best results.
2. (Optional) Choose an image ratio
Pick the format that suits your use case:
1:1 – square, ideal for quizzes or social media
16:9 – widescreen, perfect for presentations
9:16 – portrait, great for mobile use
4:3 or 3:4 – classic slide formats
3. (Optional) Choose a style
Select the desired style of the image:
Photorealistic – looks like a real photo
Illustration – drawn or artistic feel
Sketch, Cartoon, Modern, or Cinematic – for different visual moods or age groups
🎨 Example: Use cartoon for younger pupils and photorealistic for science or geography topics.
4. (Optional) Add a detailed visual style
To refine the result, you can choose additional style characteristics such as:
Science fiction, Atmospheric, Architectural, Detailed, Close-up, Colourful, or Sunset
This helps you match the mood and purpose of the image to your lesson.
5. Click "Create Image"
The AI will generate a unique image based on your input. You can then download it or insert it directly into your lesson content.
Example
You enter: “The inside of a volcano, with lava and smoke”
And you select:
Ratio: 16:9
Style: Illustration
Detail: Colourful
The AI will create an image that’s ideal for a geography or science lesson.
