Great news for our Creator tier users! You can now add featured images to your articles. Because let's face it - articles with eye-catching images simply look better and get more engagement.

🎵 How It Works
Adding images to your articles is super simple:
1. Save Your Draft First
Write your article and save it as a draft. This creates a home for your image.
2. Upload Your Image
Click or drag-and-drop your image. We'll automatically optimise it to WebP format - smaller files that load faster!
3. Publish & Share
Your image appears at the top of your article and is automatically included in your RSS feed. Easy!
📊 Smart & Efficient
Behind the scenes, we've made sure this feature is fast and efficient:
- WebP conversion - Your images are automatically converted to modern WebP format, reducing file sizes by up to 80% compared to JPEG
- Size optimisation - We resize large images to reasonable dimensions, keeping your feed loading fast
- RSS-ready - Images work perfectly in all RSS readers like Feedly, Inoreader, and NewsBlur
- Dashboard previews - See your article images at a glance in your article management dashboard
Pro Tip
Choose images that are relevant to your article and catch the eye. Landscape orientation (wider than tall) works best in most RSS readers!
