Hi everyone! Banner-GPT is an AI agent that can auto-generate banner images for any blog post or tweet. The premise is pretty simple. You paste your text into Banner-GPT, it reads and understands your content and then generates a banner image that best complements your writing. Under the hood, the raw post is sent to GPT3.5 with a few prompts to help it describe a visual that illustrates the main ideas in the text. The description is then sent as a prompt to Stable Diffusion XL. Finally the title is inferred from the content and framed on the image with a nice gradient overlay and turned into a downloadable image.

I am a humble person looking for a simple tool, and this is so perfect. I absolutely loved how it instantly came up with the best possible high-resolution images in a blink. How long are you planning to keep it free, or is there a forever freeway for limited usage? Have you decided on the pricing levels?
Neil Mathew
@josephine912 It'll be free during the beta phase. After that, we'll add a small price to offset our OpenAI and stable diffusion fees :)

Really like your app. I tried using an article from Hacknews and the results of generating from it were very good. When the API be opened?

Here is the article and one of the generated results: https://isonomiaquarterly.com/ar... https://imgur.com/SkuD3mi

@rafe_r0xf Thanks!! I am actually planning to open up an API along with a visual workflow builder for image processing / editing use cases. I'll keep you posted when that launches!

Love it! This is such a big time saver for people like me! I either try to create some shitty banner myself or have to get designer which are both time consuming. Do you also generate logos?
Neil Mathew
@leon_ostrez thanks for the feedback!! Logos would be an interesting angle. What would be the ideal input? Perhaps a company website content or description?

Much needed for writers like me. I'm gonna use thumbnail for my next blog.
Neil Mathew
@iamsohail awesome! let me know how it works out!!

Yo @neilxm this looks awesome! I just tried the latest version to generate banner images for some of Distribute Aid's recent social media posts, and love the results: post 1: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzEm... post 2: https://www.instagram.com/p/CzB9... post 3: https://www.instagram.com/p/CxEC... results: https://drive.google.com/drive/f... It would be cool if: 1. The images were available at a publicly shareable URL, so I can send them to colleagues or partners to review. Seems like a good flywheel for y'all. 2. Some way to specify the title text, hashtags, watermark / logo, or nothing (just the image). 3. Some sort of basic design settings. Color palette, star preferred styles, maybe upload a few general references images or some additional text context to include for certain types of posts? 4. A reach, but if there was an API available I'd love to integrate this with Strapi or our WikiJS setup, so that we can autogenerate images when content is added or updated. As for your questions: 1. I'd want to generate banners and stock images for our knowledge-sharing guides, blog posts, and social media posts. I think it'd also be a great way to come up with stylized profiles for team members who prefer their photos aren't posted online due to security concerns. it'd also be amazing to use this to tell a timeline-driven "supply-chain" story. there are often tons of great visuals that are easier / better to represent artistically instead of via poor-quality unprofessional photos (volunteers loading a container, a ship at sea carrying the aid, a truck driver in a foreign country, volunteers unloading in a war zone, distribution, a family with the items they need to survive another day). 2. It'd be great to upload a reference image that influences the style or content. When people are ffeatured, there needs to be a way to tailor the output for gender / race / age / hair color / cloting style. For example, it created a great banner image for post #2, but our featured volunteer Lizzie is white. Ultimately I'd want to configure most of the settings at an admin level, although possibly allow our content team to override them. This lets me setup templates while still allowing a human to be in charge, which paves the way for automatic banner generation based on CMS content, w/ 1-click approval from a human in the CMS before publishing.
Neil Mathew
@borderless_dev thank you so much for that incredibly in-depth feedback! I love the use cases and abstractions related to controlling the output through a set of parameters like race/gender etc. for human images. awesome. Our next set of planned features includes more controllability like color palette, aspect ratio, title visibility etc. so that is definitely on the roadmap! :) I'd love to talk to more about API because it seems like there are a few requests here for an API

It’s convenient !very useful
Neil Mathew
@0xjohnson thanks!! I'm planning to add the ability to control some details of the image like title visibility, aspect ratio etc. Any thoughts on what kinds of control you'd need?
Neil Mathew
@0xjohnson glad you liked it! I’d love to know if you have any thoughts on improvements going forward :)
Aditya Saxena
Looks really cool! I really like the loading animation you got there 😀, congrats on the launch 🚀
Neil Mathew
@asaxena1415 haha thanks! it's honestly just a pre-created Lottie file turned into a GIF that i quickly added in. If you need animations like that Lottie files is the way to go :)
Rami
Let's see how you guys do vs. Banner Bear
Neil Mathew
@kingromstar oh I love banner bear and Jon is a big inspiration :)
Shadab Rashid
This is a really neat idea and a handy tool! It takes a lot of time to find the ideal images for a written post. Marketing teams, startup founders, LinkedIn influencers/thought leaders - several personas could find this tool really valuable. I'm curious to see who uses it more :)
Neil Mathew
@shadab_rashid1 yep agreed! I’m curious as well, I wonder how much overlap there is in the kinds of content as well, for example blogs vs social vs web page content
Matthew Sheldon
This idea is gold. No more stressing about trying to plan for digital images... Congrats on the launch!
Neil Mathew
@matthew_sheldon thank you!! I’d love to know your thoughts on any improvements we could make!
Congratulations Team Banner-GPT on a successfully launching your pioneering concept on Producthunt! This is trailblazing work in AI imagery. Have you considered adding custom sizing options? This would further cater to the diverse needs of your user base. Keep up the fantastic work!
Neil Mathew
@manmohit thanks! custom sizing is a must have for sure! Especially when it comes to producing images for social and other platforms.
Suleman Elahi
It is ridiculously amazing....props for watermark free images man 👏👏
Genki Daido
It must helps us.
Neil Mathew
@genki_daido thanks! let me know if you run into any issues and if you have feedback for updates :)

This is fantastic! Considering the primary application might be integrating banners into blog posts, providing export options in varied formats for schema markup images and OG preview cards for platforms like Twitter would be beneficial. Also, the ability to modify the text, its formatting, and positioning would be a great addition.
Jaclyn Konzelmann
Worked great - would love to be able to specify different sizes in the future!
Neil Mathew
@jacalulu hey Jaclyn! Really loving your new blog :) custom sizing is definitely on the horizon!
David Justice
This is pretty cool. I am going to get my wife try this out for her blog

Banner-GPT simplifies the process of creating eye-catching banner images for blog posts and tweets. Can't wait to give it a try and see how it complements my content. Congratulation on the launch!
