AI one-click formatting

AI analyzes the type and structure of the content, and then decides on how to present the title, main text, citations, color scheme, and images.

Supported methods for importing content

WeChat official account layout

The official account format takes care of fonts, paragraphs, spacing, color schemes, and images, generating a format that can be copied into the official account editor.

• Use clear primary and secondary headings.
• The text should use a font size suitable for reading on mobile devices.
• Leave sufficient spacing between paragraphs.
• Make sure the style does not cover too much of the text.
• Avoid using too many colors and fonts.
• After copying, preview it again in the official account backend.
• Check the display quality on both Apple and Android devices separately.

Rednote image and text layout

The REDnote format supports 9:16 vertical and 1:1 square shapes, making it suitable for creating page content, knowledge cards, and cover images.

Template selection

The template library covers content categories such as knowledge popularization, emotional stories, product recommendations, and practical tips for the workplace.

1. First, determine the account’s focus and target audience.
2. Select a template that matches the emotion of the article.
3. Check the contrast between the title and the main text.
4. Ensure that the font is clear enough on mobile devices.
5. Reduce decorative elements that are not related to the content.
6. The same account maintains a relatively consistent style.
7. Switch to a template and regenerate as needed.

Intelligent image matching and AI-generated images

The platform can analyze the semantics of articles and match them with images from a gallery; it also offers AI-generated images in a limited quantity per day.

AI image generation quota

The official website states that AI image generation is still in the beta phase; currently, each account can generate up to 4 images per day.

• Complete the article structure first before generating the image.
• Give priority to adding images to the cover and key paragraphs.
• Specify the subject, style, and proportion in the prompt.
• Prevent repeated consumption of the quota before generation.
• Whether the daily quota is reset depends on the page displayed.
• The beta testing rules may change depending on the product.

One-click rescheduling of links

After entering the article link, the system can extract the text and reformat it; it is suitable for handling content that you have published or for which you have received authorization.

1. Verify that the webpage allows access and scraping.
2. Confirm that authorization to reproduce, cite, or adapt is available.
3. After importing, verify the completeness of the title and the text.
4. Check to ensure that no images, tables, or citations are missing.
5. Remove miscellaneous elements such as website navigation and ads.
6. Reselect the template based on the target platform.
7. Comply with the requirements for attribution and citation when publishing.

The ability to import them technically does not mean that users automatically gain the right to use the original text, images, or brand materials.

Convert article to long image

Long-image mode is suitable for Moments, communities, course materials, and knowledge posters; however, extremely long images may affect loading and readability.

• Long texts should be divided into multiple sections first.
• Keep one clear theme per screen.
• Control the text width and line spacing.
• Use lists or cards for key conclusions.
• Check the image clarity after exporting.
• Preview on phones of different sizes.
