AI image generation has just arrived in Notion, allowing you to create and edit images and to generate page covers without having to leave your workspace.
This new feature hasn't even been officially announced yet, but it's already rolling out to users and represents a significant step in Notion's AI capabilities.
Below, I'll walk you through everything you need to know about this new feature update
Creating Images with Notion AI
The image creation process is straightforward. Within any image block, you'll now find an input field for AI prompts. Simply describe what you want to see, and Notion's AI will generate an image based on your description.
What makes this particularly useful is that Notion AI can take your page content into account when generating images and when asked to. This means it can create context-aware visuals, including charts and infographics based on data from your written paragraphs.
The results I've been able to create while testing have been impressive.
Editing Existing Images
Beyond creating new images from scratch, Notion AI can also edit images you've already added to your pages.
You can modify existing images by providing instructions on what you'd like to change. This could be adjusting colors, adding or removing elements, or transforming the style entirely.
This editing capability means you're not locked into the first version of an image that Notion AI generates. You can iterate and refine until you get something that works for your needs or edit an existing image to your liking.

Generating Page & Database Covers
Notion has also integrated this feature directly into the cover menu for pages and databases, making it easy to create custom cover images with just a short description.
Once you've generated a cover you like, you can right-click to copy the image itself or grab the image address and use it elsewhere in your workspace.
Beta Release & Usage Limits
This new AI feature is currently in beta release with free usage, but it comes with a daily limit that will temporarily stop you from creating more images once you hit them.
It will be interesting to see how Notion works this newest AI addition into their pricing structure. Since AI usage varies widely between users, it's reasonable to expect they may introduce credit- or token-based pricing for AI features.
