How it works

  1. Upload your newsletter photo

    Drop in your header photo, banner image source, or any photo you want to use in your newsletter. JPEG or PNG works. Author headshots, topic-relevant stock photos you've bought, or photos you've taken yourself — all can be transformed into editorial-quality newsletter imagery.

    Expect: Basic cleanup or color adjustment: 15-20 seconds. Background replacement or complex changes: 25-35 seconds.
  2. Describe the editorial look you want

    Type what you need for your newsletter's aesthetic — 'clean editorial photo with muted tones,' 'bright and warm for a lifestyle newsletter,' 'professional and neutral for a business letter,' or 'remove the background for a clean header layout.' No area selection needed.

    Tip: Newsletter aesthetics vary wildly by topic. Finance: clean, cool, professional. Wellness: warm, natural, soft. Tech: minimal, dark, modern. Lifestyle: bright, colorful, warm. Mention your newsletter's topic for better-matched output.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Clean editorial newsletter header make this photo look like a clean editorial newsletter header image — muted tones, professional, minimal, good contrast for text overlay
    Warm lifestyle newsletter banner give this photo a warm editorial quality — golden tones, natural light, bright and inviting, good for a lifestyle newsletter header
    Remove background for header layout remove the background completely so the subject is a clean transparent cutout for a newsletter layout

    Tech/startup newsletter aesthetic transform this into a modern tech editorial image — clean dark tones, minimal, geometric feel, modern startup aesthetic
    Remove distracting elements from scene remove the distracting elements in the background and simplify the scene — clean, minimal, editorial quality
  3. Review for newsletter use

    Check that the image reads well at the sizes your newsletter platform uses for headers (typically 600-800px wide). Verify the lighting and color tone matches your newsletter's overall aesthetic. Newsletter readers form quick impressions — the header image matters.
