Brand Image Studio
The Brand Image Studio turns any image into an on-brand visual — your colors, your font, your logo — with one click. You pick a template; Amplicast renders it per platform with your brand identity applied automatically.
There is exactly one styling system: templates are the layout, your brand supplies the look. No per-post fiddling with colors or fonts.
What feeds the Studio (set up once per brand)
| Brand element | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Colors (primary, secondary, accent, background, text) | Project Settings → Voice → Brand colors |
| Font | Project Settings → Brand Style → font picker (curated, licensed fonts — previews render in the real typeface) |
| Logo | Brand Assets → your project's primary logo (transparent PNG works best; Amplicast trims invisible padding on upload) |
Because these live per project, every brand in your workspace gets its own look — TIRIDA renders green with its character logo while your B2B brand renders in its own palette, from the same templates.
The templates
| Template | Look |
|---|---|
| Title card | Full-bleed brand panel with your title — text-first announcement |
| Split — text left / right | Brand color panel with the title beside the image |
| Bottom banner | Image with a brand-color title band along the bottom |
| Quote | Large quotation styling on a brand background |
| Photo + badge | The photo, nearly untouched, with a small brand badge |
| Photo scrim | Full photo with a dark gradient and a big editorial title — the magazine-cover look |
| Text on photo | Your caption text itself rendered over the featured image — dark or light veil (Panel chips), left or centered (Align chips) |
Every template reserves a logo slot — the logo is composited last, so no text or panel ever paints over it.
Where you use it
1. Create tab → Transform Options → Brand template. Pick a template tile (the mini-previews already show your colors and font). Publish — each selected platform gets its own correctly-sized render.
2. Review modal → Template chips. Any post in review shows a Template:
row — click a different template and the image re-renders in place from the
pristine original. None returns to the plain photo (per-platform crop +
logo). Switch as often as you like before approving.
Per-platform variants (always on)
Whether or not you pick a template, every image post gets a per-platform variant: the master image is cropped and resized to each platform's ideal aspect ratio, your chosen filter is applied, and the brand logo is composited after the crop (so it never gets cut off). Instagram gets its square, Facebook its landscape, Stories their portrait — from one source image.
The Gallery tab (reuse instead of regenerate)
In Create → Featured Image, the Gallery tab lets you pick from images you already have instead of generating or uploading again:
- Recently generated — pristine masters from your earlier posts (un-branded originals, ideal for re-templating)
- From your content library — cover images of your synced articles
- From article bodies — images found inside your CMS article content
AI image generation
The AI tab generates a new image using your project's image identity — default style, brand colors, and reference images from your Brand Assets. The prompt can be written by you or derived from your content. Generated images arrive as un-branded masters, so templates and variants stay crisp.
Emojis in titles are automatically stripped from rendered images (fonts can't draw them) — keep emojis for captions.
Carousels (Instagram)
Turn any content into a branded multi-slide deck: tick Carousel in Create → Transform Options. The AI splits your text into a hook cover, one point per slide, and a closing CTA — in your brand voice.
- Look: Brand color (solid brand panels) or Editorial photo — one
AI-generated, text-free atmospheric background carries the whole deck,
with serif typography and a magazine-style header (
SERIES ——— 2/8). - Mood: with Editorial, the Dark panel option gives the classic dark scrim; Light gives a bright paper-like veil with dark type.
- Deck form: each carousel gets ONE consistent slide layout — editorial left, big centered statements, or tabloid boxed titles. The AI picks the form that fits the content (variety shows across your feed, not inside one deck).
- Your photos: add up to 6 images (the featured image joins automatically) — they appear as full-bleed slides between the points. JPEG, PNG or GIF, up to 25 MB and 26 megapixels each (an iPhone's standard 24 MP photo fits; 48 MP "max resolution" shots need to be exported smaller). Amplicast keeps its own copy of each photo, so a deck never depends on a link that might expire.
- Guidance: an optional free-text steer ("focus on the mystery angle", "order: problem → twist → invite").
- Series label defaults to your brand's publication name and renders in the header/footer of every slide.
Decks land in For review like any post. Instagram receives them as a native carousel; LinkedIn receives the same deck as a PDF document post (LinkedIn's carousel format). Other platforms selected in the same publish get their normal single-image post.
See and edit the slide plan before rendering
With Carousel on, click Preview & edit slide plan. The AI writes the plan (kicker, hook, a title and a short text per slide, call to action and caption) and nothing is rendered yet. You can then:
- change any text, reorder, add or remove slides, and pick the deck form;
- Rewrite with AI on a single slide, with an optional instruction: only that slide changes;
- Regenerate with feedback for the whole plan ("shorter hook", "more concrete examples"). Undo regenerate puts the plan back as it was before.
If you change your content after the plan was written, a notice tells you the plan is out of date, and publishing asks before it sends an outdated plan. For a plan written from the new content, click Discard plan and preview again.
The preview is optional. Publishing without it works as before: the AI writes the plan and renders the deck in one step.
Edit a deck that is in review
Open a carousel post that is waiting For review and choose Edit deck. Change the texts, the look (Brand color or Editorial photo), the panel, the alignment or the series label, then click Re-render deck.
- The same deck on your other accounts from that publish (for example Instagram and LinkedIn) is updated too, as long as those posts are still in review. Published posts keep their slides.
- Captions are not touched. A title you typed yourself is kept; otherwise the title follows the hook. On LinkedIn the title is the name of the PDF.
- Decks created before October 2026 have no stored plan and cannot be re-rendered.
Text adaptation levels
Above the image options you choose how much the AI may change your words:
| Level | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Full adapt | Rewrites per platform in your brand voice (default) |
| Light touch | Keeps your exact wording — only fits length limits, hashtags and line breaks |
| Keep exactly | Publishes your text byte-for-byte |
