# Which AI providers can generate images for my blog?

Know when to choose a plan image model, OpenAI, or Google Gemini.

For hero or article images, use an image model included with your plan if one is available. For images billed to **your own provider account**, PixelClaw supports **OpenAI** (GPT Image) and **Google Gemini** (Nano Banana image models). Your own **OpenRouter**, **Claude**, **DeepSeek**, **MiniMax**, and **Kimi** connections are for writing in PixelClaw; they do not generate images here.

A Blog Site owner or admin can open **Settings → Integrations → Writing model and billing → Included with your plan → Images** to see the available plan models and price per image. When you request a standalone image, check its model and quote. An AI-written draft can also make a hero image automatically when the feature is available. Rewriting a draft can keep its existing picture.
