Design Library: Changing AI Image Collections

AI Settings

Kadence Blocks and Starter Templates are now powered by Kadence AI. Our patterns and pages have been designed to support changes. To make these patterns and pages truly yours, we understand that your information and imagery needs may change over time. That’s why we’ve made it incredibly simple for you to update and create new image collections whenever you need to. This article will guide you through the process of selecting from different existing collections, editing them, or creating new ones from scratch.

Image Collections

Collections are sets of images that are used across your Design Library patterns and pages. You can add images to your collection from your Media Library, upload them from your computer, or search for them on Pexels. 

There are two image groups within each collection:

  • Featured images: These images are meant to draw attention and complement your content.
  • Background images: These images enhance your site’s style by using them as backgrounds.

There are two categories of Collections:

  • Premade Collections: These collections are made up of a set of curated Collections by our team, named according to the industry. There’s an additional collection in this group called “AI Search Collection” which is a collection made using AI to create a search term, which is then used in Pexels to find corresponding images. All the images in the premade collections are powered by Pexels.
  • My Collections: These are collections that you create from scratch with your own images, or premade collections that you have edited to make your own.
