The competitor view appears here. Paste a headline and hit "Suggest images" to see which visuals other publishers chose for the same story.

Three steps, under a minute

01

Paste your text

A headline is enough. The full text or a dropped document makes suggestions sharper. Works for articles, blog posts, reports, essays, slides and newsletters.

02

Review the angles

You get relatable visual scenes: the subject itself, the people affected, the mood. Not just your own keywords repeated back. Plus ALT text ideas for the image you pick.

03

Open, pick, preview

Every idea opens pre-filled on five stock libraries, paid and free. Compare with what other publishers chose, then preview your image with your headline.

Why picking the image is the slow part

The writing is done and the page is ready. Then you lose twenty minutes cycling through stock sites, retyping keywords and second-guessing whether the photo says what the piece says. This shortens that loop:

  • Suggestions translate jargon into images. An article about urban heat islands shouldn't search for "thermal mitigation strategies". It should show a shimmering city street, or people cooling off at a fountain.
  • Need a very specific image? Paste the full text, then tap any suggestion to edit the wording before you search. You stay in control.
  • Free and paid sources sit side by side: Adobe Stock, iStock and Shutterstock for licensed work, Unsplash and Pexels when the budget is zero.
  • The competitor scan shows which visual angles are already taken on a story, so yours can stand out instead of blending in.
  • ALT text ideas come ready to adapt, so the image you choose also works for accessibility and image SEO.
  • Nothing to install and no account. Your text and files stay in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to use?

Yes, free and no account needed. Image licensing happens on the stock platforms under their own terms.

Where can I find copyright-free images for editorial use?

Unsplash and Pexels offer free images that cover most editorial uses, and every suggestion includes both alongside the licensed libraries. Always check the individual photo's licence page, especially when it shows recognisable people, brands or artwork.

How do I find very specific images for an article?

Paste the full text instead of only the headline and the suggestions become more specific. You can also tap any suggested keyword to edit it before searching, and switch between the concept and literal tabs for different visual angles.

Does it store my text or files?

No. Text and uploaded documents are read in your browser and never stored. The only outgoing requests are the news lookup for the competitor scan and the searches you choose to open.

How does the competitor scan work?

It looks up recent Google News results covering the same story and shows each publisher's preview image, so you can see which visual angles are taken before choosing your own.

Why does ALT text matter for ranking?

ALT text helps search engines understand your image, supports image search rankings, and makes your page accessible to screen reader users. Keep it under roughly 125 characters, describe the actual image and include your topic naturally.
