AI Images in KoalaWriter and KoalaChat
You can create AI images using both KoalaChat and KoalaWriter!
In KoalaWriter you can simply choose the "Auto" or "Images" option for the "AI Images & YouTube Videos" setting:
You can then configure the image style, size, and maximum number of images. Please see below for more information on the image styles, image sizes, and to see samples.
In the future, we will support custom fine-tuned image models so that you can get reliable, custom image styles for all your images! If this is something you are interested in, please email hello@koala.sh and let us know your interest.
Premium Photo Model
If you have the Professional subscription or Gold Credit Pack and higher, you can use our new premium photo model. It is greatly improved over our regular model especially for images featuring people and animals.
Use it by selecting "Photo (Premium Quality)" in KoalaWriter or specifying the "photo_premium" style in KoalaChat. Please note: it is free to use in KoalaWriter but uses 5x credits in KoalaChat.

Creating AI Images Using KoalaImages
Try out our simplified AI image generator—KoalaImages! In the future, KoalaImages will support creating mutiple images using the same prompt.
First, select an image style from the options.
Next, choose an image size.
Lastly, type your prompt in the box then press Enter.
Creating AI Images Using KoalaChat
One of the commands you can use in KoalaChat is the /dream command.
The /dream command generates an AI image for the provided prompt. Our AI automatically does prompt engineering for you, so you don't have to provide more context than simply the entity you want to generate an image of.
But, if you want to specify the image style or size, this is the proper format for the /dream command:
/dream <image style (optional)><image size (optional)><prompt>
Plus, all images produced by /dream are automatically optimized and should only be around ~100kb!
Simply enter something like /dream poodle into KoalaChat to get an AI image!
Changing the Image Style
You can optionally specify a style, otherwise the default photo style will be used.
Here are the style options: illustration, photo (default), fantasy, anime, isometric
If you want to specify a style and size, make sure to follow the proper format!
/dream <image style (optional)><image size (optional)><prompt>
Illustration
Photo
Fantasy
Anime
Isometric
Changing the Image Size
All images generated by /dream follow a 1:1 aspect ratio by default. But you can specify the aspect ratio or image dimension if you want to. Just make sure to choose from one the following ratios OR resolutions:
| Ratio | Resolution |
|---|---|
| 1:1 | 1024x1024 |
| 5:4 | 1152x896 |
| 3:2 | 1216x832 |
| 16:9 | 1344x768 |
| 21:9 | 1536x640 |
| 9:21 | 640x1536 |
| 9:16 | 768x1344 |
| 2:3 | 832x1216 |
| 4:5 | 896x1152 |
Note: Make sure you enter one of the options listed in the table; otherwise, your input will be ignored, and the default 1:1 aspect ratio will be used.
The size must be provided first, but if you provide a style it should go directly after the style eg /dream 5:4 hot matcha latte and /dream illustration 5:4 hot matcha latte

AI Images in KoalaWriter FAQs
Are images automatically uploaded to Wordpress or set as featured images?
Not yet. But this is on the roadmap.
Does using images in KoalaWriter use extra words?
No, there is no extra cost and there are no additional words used.
Can I hotlink the images from my website?
Yes, we will store and host all images indefinitely. The hosting is designed for speed so you can use our image URLs to reliably serve the images in a very performant way.
Can I use the images commercially?
Yes, our Terms of Service grants you all rights, titles, and interests to the AI images and text that KoalaWriter produces.
Why Don't We Use Midjourney?
Midjourney doesn't provide an official API for AI images and prohibits automation in its Terms of Service. Using automation violates their terms, making any images produced unlicensed. Some AI tools sell images using unofficial Midjourney integrations, which is risky and against Midjourney's terms. We only use providers that offer commercial licenses for our users.
We are always wanting to offer the best possible AI images and if Midjourney offers an API in the future then we will be happy to do an integration.
Longer Answer
Midjourney is a fantastic tool for creating AI images. But unfortunately, at this time, Midjourney does not offer any official integration or API.
This means we cannot create Midjourney images for our users that come with a commercial license.
Using automation to create images with Midjourney is strictly against their Terms of Service:
You may not use automated tools to access, interact with, or generate Assets through the Services.
By violating their terms you don't actually get a commercial license to use the images:
Subject to the above license, You own all Assets You create with the Services, provided they were created in accordance with this Agreement.
There are some AI writing tools that use unofficial Midjourney integrations and sell those AI images to their users. We find this to be an incredibly sketchy business practice since these tools are violating Midjourney's terms, selling images that they don't own any license to, and putting their users at risk.
We are committed to only using AI image providers that grant us commercial licenses to the images that we can pass on to our users.
