# Add Images

Find or generate an image and place it on the selected slide. Clicking a result either fills the slide's image placeholder or adds the picture to the slide.

## Search images (free, all plans)

* **Stock** — professional stock photos, licensed for free use, with photographer attribution shown.
* **Web** — image search results from the web. Check usage rights before publishing.

Search by keyword, or browse the curated selection shown before you search. Results load continuously as you scroll.

## Generate AI images (paid plans)

Describe the image, then choose:

* **Orientation** — landscape, portrait, or square.
* **Style** — Auto, Photorealistic, Illustration, Neon, Abstract, Black and White, 3D, Line Art.

Twistly automatically refines your description behind the scenes — translating it, applying your chosen style, and matching your slide's color palette — so results can differ from a word-for-word reading of your prompt. Generated images intentionally contain **no text and no faces**.

Not happy with the result? **Regenerate** with the same prompt produces a new variation; tweaking the prompt steers it further.

## Good to know

* Select **exactly one slide** before inserting — insertion needs a clear target.
* Use **Crop** on a result to trim it before it lands on the slide.
* Insert AI images you want to keep — generated images aren't stored in your account, so a result you skip can't be retrieved later.
