Free Blog Hero Image Maker

Create a wide article header or blog hero image with 1600 x 900 as the default, then export a PNG for page-intro layouts.

Back to Free Image Generator for the full image-maker hub.

This tool runs in the browser, and your text inputs stay on your device. If you use Search Unsplash, only that stock-photo query is sent to Fundy's API.

Default export is 1600 x 900 for wide article headers. Use 1200 x 630 when a share-card companion is needed.

Create and Export a Blog Hero Image

Copy and layout

Hero images can hold more atmosphere than OG cards, but the text still needs quiet space.

Content
Size and template
Background and color
Photo (optional)

Use curated abstract headers for speed, or upload/search when the article needs a literal scene.

Use a curated background, upload a local photo, or Search Unsplash to change the image source.

Preview

Review it as a first-viewport header. If the image fights the headline, reduce visual detail before export.

Workflow Notes

Best for

  • Blog Hero Image Maker workflows that need a hero image with a clear 1600 x 900 starting point.
  • Creators and teams preparing blog hero image assets without opening a full design app.
  • Repurposing a local image, curated canvas background, or optional Unsplash photo into a hero image.
  • Fast browser production when the copy is known and the missing step is a readable PNG export.

Check before using it

  • Confirm the headline is short enough for blog hero image before choosing decorative details.
  • Pick the first destination and preset up front so hero image review does not drift into unrelated formats.
  • Start with curated backgrounds when you only need structure, then upload or search for a photo when the image itself carries meaning.
  • Keep the badge and caption secondary so the headline remains the first readable element.

Review the output

  • Review the canvas at 1600 x 900 and confirm the headline still reads like an article header.
  • Check line breaks, contrast, and whether the accent color supports the message instead of overpowering it.
  • Confirm the visual source is appropriate for the destination and does not hide important text.
  • If you use Search Unsplash, keep the attribution visible through review so the final source choice stays documented.

Limits to keep in mind

  • This page creates one static hero image at a time. It is not a layered design file editor or an AI text-to-image model.
  • Very long copy, legal text, dense product shots, and complex multi-slide campaigns may still need a manual design pass.
  • Search Unsplash is optional and depends on a server-side secret. Curated backgrounds and local uploads still work without it.
  • The browser export is PNG only, so use Image Compressor if the approved file is heavier than your upload or page budget.

Handoff

  • Use Image Generator when the next risk is better handled outside this hero image page.
  • Use Image Resizer when the approved image needs a stricter custom dimension.
  • Use Image Compressor when the exported PNG is too large for upload, email, or web performance targets.
  • Keep the final exported dimensions and source choice in your handoff note before publishing.

How to Use

  1. Choose the preset that matches the first place this hero image will be used.
  2. Enter the headline, kicker, badge, and caption, then choose the template that best fits the message.
  3. Pick a curated background, upload a local image, or use optional Unsplash search when a photo helps the design.
  4. Watch the live preview update, then review line breaks, contrast, source choice, and export dimensions.
  5. Click Export PNG, then resize or compress only after the layout is approved.
