Before you start
Steps
Open "Settings"
On a computer, Settings is in the main menu. On a phone, tap "More" in the bottom bar, then Settings.
You should see: The Settings page, with a row of tabs.
Open SettingsChoose "Brand and content"
Scroll to the "Content generation" section at the bottom of the tab.
You should see: A row of 3 buttons under "Image realism".
Go straight to Image realismTap the level you want
Choose "Real photos only", "Careful edits" or "Any image". The choice saves on its own.
You should see: A short line under the buttons describes what your choice allows.
Confirm "Any image" if you chose it
A window asks "Allow any image?" and warns that pictures may not match the real thing. Tap "Allow any image" to keep it, or "Cancel" to leave your setting as it was.
You should see: Any image is selected. You can switch back anytime.
What each level allows
| Level | What Autopilot may do |
|---|---|
| Real photos only | Uses your own photos and product pictures. If none fit, the post goes out without an image. Autopilot may still create a simple scene or graphic with none of your products, people or places in it. |
| Careful edits | Touches up your photos (light, background, season). Creates a product or storefront image only from 3 or more of your photos of that exact product or space. Never creates people or your finished work. |
| Any image | Creates images of anything, including products, people and places it hasn't seen. They may not match the real thing. |
What happens next
Real photos only is where the setting starts. A new choice applies to posts Autopilot plans from now on. Learn how the levels fit together in how Autopilot picks or makes an image.
Better photos help at every level. See what makes a good photo for posts.
If something's not right
The buttons are greyed out
Image realism needs AI generated images on, and it's a Pro setting. See how to turn AI generated images on or off.
Pictures still don't look right
Move one level lower, then swap any picture that's wrong. See what to do when an image looks off.
