What you do instead of a design brief

A designer usually asks for size, message, and brand marks. The form covers those as the format, the idea, and an optional reference image. You do not need a separate brief. You do need a real listing and a real offer or update.

Pick a format and an idea, then click Generate. After that, write the caption with the GMB post AI tool if you want help with the words. Check Google’s photo guidelines before anything goes live.

The designer steps the form replaces

You still decide what goes live. The form just starts the picture for you.

Find your business and pick a format

You’ll land on GBP Image Generator. Under Find your business, start typing your business name and pick the listing. Under Where will you use it? choose GBP Post (Landscape · 4:3). The four options are GBP Post (Landscape · 4:3), Profile Photo (Square · 1:1), Facebook / Instagram Post (Square · 1:1), and Instagram Story / Reel (Vertical · 9:16). There is no 16:9 option.

Pick an idea and generate

After you pick a business, that list becomes 3 ideas suggested for the listing. Pick the one closest to what you need, or choose Custom — write your own. The names below are examples of the defaults, not a promise you will see those exact lines. A reference image and the optional Custom prompt are separate fields. Then click Generate image.

  • Limited-time special offer announcement
  • Showcase your most popular product or service
  • Behind-the-scenes look at your team at work

What the tool does not do

It does not upload the image to Google Business Profile, Instagram, or Facebook. Download it, take a look, then add it yourself. Keep the picture honest, and do not invent a shop, team, or offer you do not have.

What to do next

If you want a product on the image, use the showcase idea and drop a real photo in the optional reference image. After you download the picture, write the caption with the GMB post AI tool, or see how to create Google Business Profile posts with AI.

What not to do, and what to do instead

What people try first

  • Skipping posts because you have no designer
  • Posting a screenshot from another app
  • Publishing the first picture without reading it

What actually helps

  • Pick the listing
  • Pick GBP Post and an idea
  • Generate, look at it, download, then publish

Quick FAQs

Is Generate image free to click?

Your first 5 images are free for the account. After that, you need a paid plan for unlimited images. The button stays disabled until you pick a business.

Can I edit the image after I generate it?

Yes. After an image exists, you can download it or edit it, then look at it before you publish.

What if the text is wrong?

Text accuracy can vary, so generate again or use Custom prompt, then look at it again.
